I-131 with AOS "Part 7"

[ltkenbo 3]

I am helping my wife fill out her AOS paperwork (she entered on a K1 visa and we married) and we are filling out the application for travel document so she can receive advance parole.

Anyways on part 7 it says "On a separate sheet of paper, explain how you qualify for an Advance Parole Document, and what circumstances warrant issuance of advance parole. Include copies of any documents you wish considered."

I've heard some people don't do anything since you qualify for advance parole as a K1 holder applying for AOS & advance parole at the same time. I've heard others say they fill out this i-131 supplement example on visa journey. So which should I do, and if I do fill out the supplement, what should I put as the description of travel?

Also, for "date of intended departure" and "length of trip" in part 3 I put "unknown" for both. Is this ok also?

A mod should delete one of these threads, the page froze up and posted twice.... sorry

Re-read the instructions.

Since you're applying for AP based on a pending AoS then a written explanation of why you need AP is not required.

You can enter "Unknown" for the dates if you have no concrete trips set.

I saw those but I didn't see a statement that item #3 means you didn't need #1 and #2 (didn't think they were mutually exclusive)

And we haven't filed for AOS yet, so I wouldn't have any receipt to submit showing we filed for adjustment. This AP will be filed along with our AOS application

We didn't attach an extra paper and my husband was approved for AP with out any issues.

Re-read the instructions. At the end of paragraph (2) there is one magical word: "OR" - so #3 by itself is sufficient. Of course you do not have an AOS receipt yet, but sending the AP and AOS paperwork together fulfills that criterion.

I was also confused about this "explanation letter" when I sent in my paperwork, but the senior members explained it to me, and they were correct. No explanation letter is needed in your situation.
