hi everyone!!

I'm filling the papers for adjustment of status, but I have some questions, I called to USCIS and they told me that I need to have the following applications I-131, I-765, I-864, I-693, I-130, I-485, G325 two copies for me and one for my husband. I came to the US on a F-1 and I got married few months ago with a US Citizen, now that I'm filling all the applications is making me so confused in what I have to put, so if You can help me I will really appreciate :)

in I-765 question #15 what I have to put? I was on a F-1 but when I got married on Dec 2011 I didn't attend the following semester so I don't know what I have to put there.

on I-131 do I really need to fill out this form? I'm not intending to go out of the states any time soon. and if I have to fill this form what should I put in part 1 #3 class of admission? and which one on part 3

thanks so muchhhhh

Hi there, you do not have to fill out the I-131 if you do not want to, but it is a relatively simple form and you might want to as a back up plan in the case of family emergency. That's what I did.

For question 15 on the 765, you may want to wait to hear from someone that has had this exact situation. I don't want to steer you wrong. The rest of the forms you have listed are correct. Good luck on your journey! :)

Edit: Check out the Example Forms they have here on VisaJourney, there is a link up on the navigation bar at the top of the page. It's really helpful!

For your status you can put "F-1 overstay"

Don't bother applying for AP (i-131).

You will not be able to use it because you overstayed.

Overstay is not a big deal for spouses of US citizens.

But do not leave the US until you have green card in hand!

Read the guides (menu on top of page) and read the instructions for each form carefully.

Ask questions when you are not sure.

Send all the forms and required evidence concurrently.

You'll be fine.

Good luck!

We didn't do the I-131 because my husband overstayed and we figured if he left the country he'd get a ban. At least, that's what I read - even with AP if you are subject to a ban, don't leave. I'm not sure if that applies to you though.

ETA, engineer beat me to it. And said it much more eloquently too. :P

Agree with the previous posters. Because you overstayed (or fell out of status due to not attending school after December 2011) you can't use the AP to travel while your AOS is pending as you are now possibly subject to a ban to the US, and therefore the I-131 is useless to you. The status that you are adjusting from remains F1, even though you did not attend school, so wherever it asks for your status that is what you put down.
