Hello,
As I wait for my K1 embassy interview I'm starting to prepare for the Adjustment of Status (Green Card) process where I'll be applying for AoS, EAD and AP. I have some questions already and appreciate any help in answering.
  1. We will be filling a couple of days after our marriage (basically as soon as we have wedding certificates). My fiancee (the USC) will take on my surname. So if I put her new surname on all the applications will it cause a problem since all the systems (governments, banking, tax etc) will only just be updating theirs (and will probably take a while)?
  2. For i-485: My fiancee has a son of whom would of course now be my son-in-law and I will also be his legal guardian, do I need to declare this on the I-485, Part 3, Section B (List your present spouse and all of your children?
  3. For i-485: I used worked for a Danish company who had an office in the United States that I visited on (pre-K1) business travel for meetings. Does this need to be listed under part 3 section C (List your present and past membership in or affiliation with every organization....)?
  4. For the i-131 (advanced parole) I have to make a couple of trips to the UK next year but not sure when. What do we put down for part 3.1 & 3.2 (intended departure and trip length) and part 4 (visiting family?)? Ideally I want a multi-entry AP is answering 7.1 as "more than one trip" enough to get a multi-entry no matter what is put in 3.1?
  5. Do I need to repeat the evidence between the AoS, EAD and AP? E.g. each form asks for two photos does that mean I submit 6 or is two ok, one copy of birth certificate shared between forms ok etc?
Many thanks on any information!
Rob

1. New surname

2. A son-in-law is married to your daughter. Wife's child is step-son. List him.

3. That question wants to know memberships like Nazi Party, Young Republicans, Rotary International, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides....

4. No date required. Say 2 weeks for length. Visiting family. Doesn't matter what you put, it gets approved for multiple entry.

5. Yes repeat. Three separate applications processing in different places. They are just ridng together in the same envelope to the lockbox.

No explanation or reason is needed when filing the I-131 with a pending I-485 as an adjustment applicant.

Date and length can be left blank and the hand-write Unknown for those after printing out the form.

Part 4 is not filled out. Skip to Part 7 where it tells you to on the form.
