Hello ! 
can anyone confirm this section2.  on I-485 form please ? 
I’m on a K-1 visa and I think my selection should be (No) for section 2. Right ?

Ok. Same like me then. I heard some people got a fourth mail with set of instructions on how to set up online account and access code to track the cases.

Welp, I knew something was up. So USCIS tore my stepdaughter's (K-2) portion out of the packet I sent them with a rejection notice, stating that I needed to provide evidence that "an immigration visa petition has been filed/approved on your behalf"... But I did submit that. I sent them the original I-129F that my step-daughter was listed on and got her K-2 through. Do they mean I was supposed to send in two copies, one for each applicant?

 

I really hope I don't need to pay for another medical exam for her, because they totally tore that sealed envelope open. Since there's numbers printed on the bottom of those pages, I'm guessing they scanned them in already.

 

Sent in the K-2 AOS resubmission today, expected to be in the Chicago lockbox by tomorrow. Best I could make out from internet research, it's because I forgot to write the priority date on the I-485 for her I-129F we did last year (didn't know what it was at the time I was applying; thought it has something to do with expedited applications). I also attached a copy of the approved I-129F to the packet that's in addition to the associated I-797 I sent in last time. I think they could've figured out the priority date without me writing it on there, but I think maybe the Lockbox contractors don't have the authority to correct applications. And a complicating factor was that my K-2 stepdaughter's name was spelled differently on the I-129F because she didn't have her passport at the time of application and so we weren't sure what the latin alphabet version of her names were.

 

Fun fact: I called in to the contact center to verify this, but despite the fact that I'm now resubmitting the K-2 AOS separately from my wife's K-1 AOS, the price is still $750 i.e. filing concurrently with at least one parent. I'm also crossing my fingers that this means that my step-daughter will inherit my wife's original 7/14 priority date. I also asked about the torn open I-693 Medical; the guy said that while he didn't have a concrete answer for that, generally, the instructions on the I-797C are very specific to what has to be done, i.e. if it doesn't mention the medical then I don't have to do anything further there.

Hi All,

 

im just getting ready to submit my AOS pack. Am I right in saying we need to submit 6 passport style photos with our name and A number on the back? Or do we need 8?

Two for each of I-485, I-131, I-765, or 6 total. Are you submitting anything else that requires photos?

 

Word is that even just 2 photos will suffice for all three applications, but 6 avoids risk of rejection.

Ok, that’s great - thanks for letting me know. 
 

I’m submitting i864 as well but I don’t think that requires any.

 

fingers crossed everything is in order. It’s slightly nerve racking.
