Re: Filling for AOS Thrusday need MAJOR HELP
Andy Platt is a good person to answer your questions. I recently sent off my AOS
papers (with a few queries answered by him in this NG) and I can tell you what I
wrote down, but I don't know yet whether I wrote the right stuff, i.e., I haven't had
an feedback from the INS yet.

Got me there. I'd put the one in my visa, maybe write a note with the I-485
explaining the discrepancy.

I put status as permanent resident.

I believe so. I paid the fingerprint fee with my forms, explaining on the covering
letter what the cheque was for.

K1 doesn't give you authorisation to work. You put "no" if you've never received an
EAD from them before. This is the c9 eligibility category. If you got a 90 day one
when you had your K1 visa, before you got married, that's a6 eligibility category and
I suppose you would put "yes" if you are now applying for your 1 year EAD.
>It also asks place of last entry into the us, do i put the POE where i crossed or
>where i went to? and when it says current immigration status do i put K1 Visa?
According to Andy, you put down the place where you entered the country on this last
occasion, with your K1 visa.
Also according to the Great Man you put down: "Fiance(e) (K-1)" on the I-485;
"pending permanent resident" on the I-765. This is what I did, but like I said, I
haven't heard back from the VSC yet.
>#5 Form I-131 when you get to part 3 processing information, it says
>if applying for an adcance parole document skip to part 7, so i dont fill out
>ANYTHING else just go right to part 7?
I applied for Advanced Parole for just in case my folks have an emergency back home.
I wrote for section 3, Date of expected departure, "Unkown as yet" - Expected length
of trip "unknown as yet". For 4, 5 and 6 I put N/A. Most of the INS instructions
advise you put N/A rather than leave a section blank.
>#6 i have this form I-485 Data sheet for indianapolis, which has to be
>submitted it askes me for the number of last nonimmigrant visa, what do i put there?
The K1 you arrived on, the number in red on the visa in your passport.
>and then it asks for classification of last nonimmigrant visa, what do i put there?
>It also asked, nonimmigrant classification at time of application filing i put K1
>that is correct right???
That's what I did.

Your I-94 is the card you got when you came in last time.

Andy said yes to this so that's what I put down. It made sense.
Then

According to the Andy, as I said above, you put down: "Fiance(e) (K-1)" on the
I-485; "pending permanent resident" on the I-765.
>and the Expiry date would be the one on my visa?
Yes.

Where you came in on your K1 and they took your packet 3 etc.

Yep, it's dumb, but it's a different form to last one, which of course makes it
alright......

Most of it will need to be filled out by your partner.

As for the cheques, look at the INS website. Different places have different
preferences, don't ask me why.

Is the fingerprint card the I-765 Signature Card? If so it's no longer necessary.
If not I would hold on to them until you're fingerprinted.
