Hi

I came to the U.S as student. In 2006, I got married to a U.S citizen. Unfortunately, we divorced.

My ex-husband already filed everything, so I already have an A-number, but I didn't get a green card yet.

Now, I married with my current husband and he is a U.S citizen.

I need to file new I-485, I-765 and I-131.

I-130 just approved two days ago.

The questions are

1. Do I need to write an old A-number?

2. What should I write in current status?

P.S When my husband sent I-130, he didn't write my A-number because he thought that I should get a new A-number.

I really appreciate your help.

Thank you ver much

You should of used your old A-number - it's similar to an SSN - used to track you in the immigration system.

Your current status is "D/S" most likely - from your student visa. What status did you put on your original application.

I would ensure you have plenty of evidence of a bona fide marriage, getting married twice, before even getting the GC, could be seen as an attempt to just marry for immigration purposes. I would not use the AP - even though you have may not have been declared out of status, then amount of time would probably give you a ban if this time is used against you by an IJ/CBP.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

What's IJ/CBP?

Thank you very much.

What's IJ/CBP?

IJ = immigration judge

CBP = Customs and Border Patrol
