I am now happily setlling into life in the States and got married on the 20th. It was a fantastic day. Many thanks again to everyone that helped me while I was going throug hthe K-1 process.

I have a couple of questions for round 2 of the form filling saga! I have printed off the I-485, I-864, G-325A, I-765 and I-131 forms and have a few queries I want to run past you lot before I send them off incorrectly and waste time getting them sent back!

1) On the I-485 (and a few more forms) I'm asked for an A#? There is a number near the bottom of my K-1 visa in my passport that begins with an A. It's under "Annotation" underneath the date my petition was approved, is that the one I need to put down?

2) I assume the I-94 number is the long one on the top of the bit they rip off the bottom of the form and staple into your passport? Am I okay attaching a copy because I've been told never to lose that form?!

3) My "Current INS Status" presumably is "conditional resident" right?

4) It asks for a "Non-immigrant Visa Number". Is that the red number near the bottom right corner of my K-1 visa in the passport?

5) Lastly (I hear you sigh in relief!) on the I-131 form I have to put "Clas of admission". Any light people can shed would be greatly appreciated!!

I have no specific trips planned so I guess that I-131 form is for Advance Parole.

Thanks in advance for any help, good luck with everything.

Firstly, congrats on the marriage Paul!

Yep, your 'A' number is followed by eight numbers.

Yep, again; the number is eleven digits long. Copies are acceptable so no worries.

I put K1 on my form. It'll be a while until you're a conditional (permanent) resident.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes

yeah congrats to you two ! :-)
as answer to your questions :
1) yes put the A # that is under "Annotation" underneath the date my petition was approved

2)yes the I94 # is the long number on the top of your I94 card

3) your current INS status is : K1 or fiance(e) visa

4) the nonimmigrant visa number is the red number on your visa page

5) your class of addmission is K1

good luck and be happy !

Paul,

3) Wrong. You haven't filed the I-485 yet - how can you possibly be a "conditional resident"?

5) Your visa was what?

I-131, in your circumstances, is for Advance Parole, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you have no specific trips planned.

Are you gona send in the vaccination supplement also?

Pauljarv

Yes I got pricked the day after I got here. I think there was a mix up at the medical centre in Boston as we paid a $25 deposit then the bill came to $160 (including the marriage blood work). We reminded them off the $25 we'd already paid and they phoned back a day or so later to tell us we owed them $10!! I didn't argue - no doubt they'll catch up with us.

I'm going to include copies of I-94 form, birth cert, passport, marriage cert and it says somethign about police checks so I was going to attach a copy of the UK police cert too.

Do you live in MA also?(Boston)

Pauljarv

Yeah, I'm in Medford. Has it been cold enough over here for you?

Where did you send your forms off to? I looked at dates before I went and the Government Center (I'm trying to get used to spelling things the other way!) seemed way quicker. Problem is now I checked the dates again and there were no timescales for the EAD and Advanced Parole forms! I was wondering if they don't process tham anymore. What did you do?

cutenurse300

Exactly.since february 2004,they don t process them anymore at the local Boston office,you can look it up at the BCIS homepage,it takes currently about 4,5 months to get the AP and EAD.Good luck!!!

Pauljarv

So you sent the forms to Vermont? What else did you put in with the forms (sorry to be a pain - if it's taking that long I don't want to mess things up!)

FlyergirlUK

Only those of us that live in MD can file our AOS through Vermont.

Check out Districts and Sub-Offices by State for information on where to send your forms.

Pauljarv

Hmm I'm confused now! My local Boston office are supposedly no longer processing EAD and AP forms but I can't go through Vermont. Should I just post everything to Boston then they get sent to the relevent place from there? The last thing I want to do is waste time or even worse have my forms get lost in the system somewhere. What did other Boston immigrants do?

Behold - an answer! LOL
