Anastasia's AOS interview was today, and we were recommended for approval. 😊   Wasn't anything difficult; just the standard security questions, names and birthdates, how we met stuff, and on

Hello all,

I am trying to file all my forms this month before the K1 (90 visa) expires on April 25th of 2019.  I am seeking some guidance in regards to some of the issues I am encountering and I hope those of you whom have already filed can provide that.  I do believe I have about a 70% solution…

 

  1. My wife and I married on March 30th of this year.  Since the date of marriage she has opted to take on my family name.  I took a copy of this marriage certificate to the Social Security office and applied for a SSN in her family name.  She is currently pending issuing of her SSN card after immigration information is verified (she is still within the 90 day visa).  She was awarded a letter from the SSA with the married family name.  Previous to this action, she has not been issued a SSN.  This was her first and initial visit.

  2. Form I 485 (Application to Register Perm. Res. Or Adj. Stat.)

    1. Is there a need to write a letter “detailing why I am sending a payment of $1225.00 versus a payment of $1640.00” to file for (Form I-485, I-1765, I-131)?

    2. I am being told that as long as I file all the forms (Form I-485, I-1765, I-131 together with Form I-485, there is only one fee that I need to pay?  $1225?

The USCIS website under forms of you click the I-485 then the special instructions tab, you will read this:

 

“Filing Forms I-765 and I-131 with Form I-485

If you are filing Form I-485 and pay the required fee (or already filed Form I-485 and paid the required fee on or after July 30, 2007), you do not have to pay an additional fee to also file a Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorizationand/or Form I-131, Application for Travel Document for advance parole. You may file these forms together.”

 

Just the 1225 is all you need to file for K1 AOS

  2. My wife has been issued a defense eligibility card (ID card) from the military with her new married last name.  I am including this as a copy in the packet.

  3. When filling out the forms (Form I-485, I-1765, I-131) can I start using her new married name where it asks for family name?  Obviously most forms asks what other names she has used since birth…which I put her birth name. Yes, if she already opted for your last name, then in all of your forms, you should list her new married name. 

  4. Form I 485 (Application to Register Perm. Res. Or Adj. Stat.)

    1. Is there a need to write a letter “detailing why I am sending a payment of $1225.00 versus a payment of $1640.00” to file for (Form I-485, I-1765, I-131)? No, but if you are doing separate cover letters for the I-765, and I-131, you can say that "fee waived because filing together with I-485" 

    2. I am being told that as long as I file all the forms (Form I-485, I-1765, I-131 together with Form I-485, there is only one fee that I need to pay?  $1225? Yes. 

    3. Medical Examination:  i did not receive a copy of her medical record, but I did receive a copy of the vaccines she received.  Also, I took her to get additional vaccines she was needing, to ensure she is up to date.  Are there any specific vaccines needed for her AOS prior to interview? They ask for the I-693 form, which covers some tests in addition to the vaccines. You will have to have a civil surgeon filed this form out for you so I suggest you shop around using this list: https://my.uscis.gov/findadoctor 

  5. Form I-131 (Application for Travel Doc.)

    1. Page 4 of 5, Part 7. Complete only if applying for Advanced Parole

    2. “On a separate sheet or paper, explain how you qualify for an advance parole document, and what circumstance warrant issuance of advance parole”  Does anyone have any guidance on this question and what they have put into this section? You don't need to submit anything. Just fill out the rest of the form.
