Hi there!

I am currently applying for my I-130. I am currently on F1 visa and in line 14 of the form it is asking me for the Date authorized stay expired, or will expire as shown on Form I-94 or I-95: but the problem is, I can't understand the writing on my I-94. The way I read it it says D 17; does this mean anything on an F1 visa arrival/departure record?

Thank you for your help! =)

Check your passport. The stamp on the passport should be the same as your I-94. That's how it is with B1/B2 visas, not really sure if its the same with F1 visas. :unsure:

If you are on F1, as I was, usually you don't have an expiration date per si. It is " D/S " which means "duration of status". Usually that's what they write on I-94 "D/S". I put that on my I-30 when I submitted it.

I hope this helps.

By the way, I have another questions: I am filing my I-485 and on Part 2 of the form, which one should I check? is it a

or h? since I am currently in my F1 status and I just got married last month to a US citizen.

And I am following the step by step guide on how to file an i-130 for spouse inside the US.

Thank you!

In MY case it was " a ", but it varies by person. You should read all options and make sure you pick the one that corresponds to your case.

Hi there!

Can you let me know why you choose "a"?

So, atleast I would know if it would be applicable for me too.

Thanks! =)

Hi kitikichat, it is not about my case fitting into yours. As I said, there are options because there are different cases. You are the only one to decide which option fits in your case. Not if mine is applicable to yours.

I am married to an USC and I was a F1 when I got married. I didn't get into US with a K1/K2 etc.

Read the section of the instructions that says "Evidence of eligibility". If you don't know what exactly is your case, you can call USCIS and talk to an officer who can help you better understand your options.

The instruction says: Questions Regarding Form I-485

For additional information about Form I-485, including howto file your application or filing locations not mentioned, callthe USCIS National Customer Service Center at1-800-375-5283

THank you very much!

We kinda have the same situation. I am in F1 visa too and got married to a USC. I didn't get into US w/ K1/K2 visa.

That's why I am applying the papers from here in the US.

I will call USCIS too.

Thank you very much! =)
