APRIL 2018 AOS FILERS

[George & Roth 1,485]

Just found this thread, coming over from June 2017 K-1 filers. My new home!

 

I received email & SMS confirm on the 18th, Case status on USCIS case tracker has April 6 as received date and waiting on NOA1 to arrive in mail. Saw my check was cleared from my bank yesterday (19th), I placed it in the mail on the 4th. 

 

Hello my fellow April AOSholes!

Hello everybody. I’m new here! 

I arrived on my K1 visa on 3/25, we got married 4/14 and I’m now sitting in front of my paper work trying to fill it out  

 

i have a couple of questions and would HIGHLY appreciate you guys helping me out. 

 

First off, it’s my understanding that the A number is being issued to people with a green card, is that correct ?

they ask for the number on every form and it makes me nervous that I don’t have it. 

 

 

What is my current immigration status? 

I wrote “K1 visa holder, AOS applicant” 

 

form I-864 Part 1: .............I, am the sponsor submitting this affidavit of support because 

✖️I am the petitioner. I filed or am filing for the immigration of my relative .

now, is that the answer I put my little check mark on? Whose name should I put in ther? My husbands (since he is sponsoring and providing for me) or mine (since I am the petitioner) ? 

Or does the US citizen has to fill out the form by himself ? 

 

 

What is a principal applicant ?

 

do I put all the applications in one envelope and send it?

 

 

last question, Bear with me guys. 

The travel authorization. It looks like they require you to set a date for proposed travel in order to to be allowed to travel. 

I don’t have a date that I want to leave the states, I just want to make sure in case of an family emergency back in Germany  I’m not trapped here. 

Do I just put a random date in there? Or just skip that part? 

Or should I just not fill the travel form out and just send the AOS Affidavit and work permit out? And if I do that, do I have to pay for the work permit application? 

 

I know when you submit everything all together you just pay biometrics and AOS. 

 

 

Sorry for these LONG questions. 

Id appreciate your help! Thank you!! 

Does this help you for the 864 question?

For the date on the I-131 read this

"s a K1 entry you do not have to give a reason and date in the form, see the example form in the guides.
You either leave it blank where it is asked for travel date / reason or you write unknown. Travel date was filled in the

example form but it is totally acceptable to leave it blank."

Finally! We received our NOAs for the EAD, AP & AOS on Wednesday and Biometrics appt scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Fingers crossed the AP doesn't take as long as the timeline estimates. Would be great if she's got it before end of July.  Anyway, just excited to share.

Hiya, K1 May filer here. Been married for a week and ready to submit our AOS. Just gotta print everything out, so most likely will have it prepared and sent out on the upcoming Monday.

[AZSunshine78 437]

Our checks were cashed ($85 biometrics and $1,140 for AOS) and then today we got rejection notices stating we sent incorrect fees.

 

The I 131 rejection for travel document says on the USCIS website we must pay $135 form fee because he is classified as a “c” (K3 spouse, I’m assuming k3 because we are now married but we started with a k1 and got married than filed AOS, EAD. AP

 

The other rejection letter is the I 765 (ead) says we have no proof of I 485,  which we were notified was approved April 15th.

 

What?!

 

we submitted the correct fees, we do have an approved I 485 and now they want us to resubmit all entire applications and fees again?

Form I -765

 

number 18 “status of last entry” is K1 Visa, correct?

 

number 19 “current immigration status” is supposed to be RK1, correct?

 

number 20 “eligibility category “ should be C9, correct?

 

where is this additional $135 fee coming from? I thought we only paid biometrics of $85

[Rittaaxx 40]

Hi all,

 

April 11,2018 sent out via FEDEX 

April 13,2018 it delivered 

April 20,2018 checks were cashed 

 

We haven’t got notification via email or text message yet, assuming that’s next. Long process that just started but I’m already losing my patience. Hope everyone’s process goes through nice and smooth!

According to the fee section you are an 80 year old refugee

Congrats on your long life. 80 is not bad!

 

You sent them all in the same envelope?

What fees did you pay?

 

only two correct, AOS and 85 for biometrics?

 

we were deniedon EAD because of incorrect fee that we still owe 135?

 

could you please pm me and help me with the specific questions I asked in my recent posts.

 

Thank you if you can.
