Questions about submitting AOS application

[pricha82 0]

Hi everyone. My husband and I are getting ready to submit all the paperwork for his green card (AOS) and we have run across some minor doubts. He currently is here on an F1 VISA. Wondering if anyone has feedback for the following questions:

-On the G-325A it asks for my address for the last 5 years. It happens that I have moved multiple times over the last 5 years and we can only fit 5 addresses that account for the last 4 years and 3 months in the spaces provided. Is this sufficient, or should we add the last address onto a second application form? If so, do we complete the entire form, or just add the one address?

-On the I-485, part 2, it says "I am applying for adjustment of permanent resident status because", Should we choose 'A' for this answer? We're filing I-130 and I-485 at the same time.

-How many proofs of shared address (bills, etc) should we send, and going back how far? We've been living together for 18 months now, at two different addresses. We're not sure if we should send the last 3 months, or 12 months, or from both addresses. It's a lot of paperwork to send many months.

-He is a researcher and is filing the I-131 to be able to leave the country to do research during the process. Does he need a letter from his university explaining his circumstances to support this application, or just the application?

Thanks for any feedback you can provide!

I just sent my AOS package yesterday,

Yes I chose A for the I-485 part 2.

On form G325A like in any other form if you need to add any extra information to which there is no space you should attach a sheet of paper, write to what part that extra information belongs and sign the sheet as well. ( that's how I was advised to do) I dnt think you should send a second G325A just because you need to add another address to that part.

When sending proof of bona fide marriage I sent everything I thought was relevant but I did not have bills from previous months I just sent one copy of each and they were from last month ( I'm not sure if 10 or 5 or 1 copy of the same bill just different month is relevant) I heard if your address on your drivers license is the same to send a copy of those too.

Regarding the I-131 I can't help as I didn't filed that one.

He should not require to proof from university. I got my AP without providing any reason to travel in the application.

Thanks for your reply gaia12.

I asked that question because of the I-131 instructions. For instance, it mentions that I must explain why I am traveling and provide evidence.

Please see attached file.

Wisdom here has it that the current administration of form I-131 is considerably looser than it was

in prior years; but the form has not been updated to reflect this.

For instance: In part 3, 1 just print in 'unknown.'

Part 3, 2 just print in 'N/A'

Part 4, 1.a. Type in 'unknown at this time.'

Part 7, 1 Check 'More than one trip.'

That's under point 5), which applies to only applicants under DACA. Does that apply to you?

If you need more space, then include an attachment sheet with the form name, question#, question and answer to the question. Then sign and date it. Pn the form itself put 'See attachment".

-On the I-485, part 2, it says "I am applying for adjustment of permanent resident status because", Should we choose 'A' for this answer? We're filing I-130 and I-485 at the same time.

Yes a. It states there '..or a relative visa petition filed with this application..'

-He is a researcher and is filing the I-131 to be able to leave the country to do research during the process. Does he need a letter from his university explaining his circumstances to support this application, or just the application?

An adjustment applicant does not fill out Part 4 stating a reason and purpose of their travels, and you do not need to supply the extra statement.

No explanation or reason is needed when filing the I-131 with a pending I-485 as an adjustment applicant. It states this in the instructions on page 8.

See the OR between #2 and #3. If you are filing the I-131 with the I-485, then you need nothing. If filing the I-131 after the I-485, then no reason statement and a copy of the receipt notice from filing the I-1485 is all you need.

c. Advance Parole Document
If you are in the United States, you must attach:
(1) A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status, if any, in the United States; and

(2) An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an Advance Parole
Document; or

(3) If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the
adjustment application;

Yes, it makes all sense.
