AOS from K1 help with forms please

[Skye841 1]

Hi i need to file my AOS within the next week. Adjusting from my K1 and have a few questions if anyone can help, they might seem a bit silly but i just want to make sure im filling them in correctly. Also I am still waiting on my marriage certificate, will this have my married surname on it?

I-485:

current legal name- do i use my now married surname for this and then put my maiden name in other names you have had? Assuming the name i use if i use my married name will be whats going to be on my green card when issued? 
then for immigration history details it asks for passport number on arrival, travel document number on arrival, expiration of passport or travel document and country that issued passport or travel document- question is do i use passport or k1 visa details for this section or does it not matter which one i use?

status on form I94- would i write k1?

what is your current immigration status ? Do i write k1? 
And to sign off on the form, if i want to use my new married surname do i use a signature with that name or do i use my maiden name / usual signature as it is what is on my passport? Sorry if these sound dumb, I’ve not had to change my name before.

I-765: 

full legal name- do i use my now married surname 

again asks for my immigration status on arrival which is k1 and current immigration status- still k1 as i am still to file my AOS etc? And same with the signature i should use to sign off on 

I-131:

name i use (does not ask for previous used names)

Part 7- Advanced parole travel info?

i dont have any trips planned so do i still fill this in, want it just incase of family emergency mainly ?

 

and finally 

I-693:

i had my medical and all my vaccinations ticked off complete before my k1 interview and have my DS3025 to attach to this. 
what parts of this form do i complete and not complete.

 

if anyone can help clarify would be great. Thanks

Maybe, maybe not.

If you fill out the I485/I131/I765 with your new married name and use your maiden name in the other names used section, any cards (GC/AP/EAD) you get will use the married name even if it is not explicit on the marriage certificate.

then for immigration history details it asks for passport number on arrival, travel document number on arrival, expiration of passport or travel document and country that issued passport or travel document- question is do i use passport or k1 visa details for this section or does it not matter which one i use?

Use your passport number where it asks along with the relevant expiration.  You use "N/A" for the travel document.

"K1 Visa Holder"

If nothing has changed you can use "N/A" (i.e. are you submitting before your I94 expires?)

And to sign off on the form, if i want to use my new married surname do i use a signature with that name or do i use my maiden name / usual signature as it is what is on my passport?

Use your new signature on all forms.

These sample forms may be helpful, but keep in mind they may be on older versions of the forms.

 

Good Luck!

current legal name : whichever you want to use as ur legal name for the immigration purposes. if u want to take ur spouse last name, then put it like that so u will get GC with married name. 

 

then for immigration history details it asks for passport number on arrival, travel document number on arrival, expiration of passport or travel document and country that issued passport or travel document- question is do i use passport or k1 visa details for this section or does it not matter which one i use?

if u use passport (like majority people here when they entered USA), then leave travel document blank. u cant fill up both. it's either. u confused urself. travel document is replacement for passport. ur K1 visa is visa and not replacement for travel document. 

 

status on form I94- would i write k1?

yes

 

what is your current immigration status ? Do i write k1? 

i will put AOS. or K1 to AOS. doenst really matter much

And to sign off on the form, if i want to use my new married surname do i use a signature with that name or do i use my maiden name / usual signature as it is what is on my passport? Sorry if these sound dumb, I’ve not had to change my name before.

signature doesnt have to contain surname. most people's signature is scriblled barely readable. u dont need to change ur signature. 

 

 

I-131:

Part 7- Advanced parole travel info?

just write TBD or just pick random months. it doesnt really matter

For you it would be “N/A”.  That is if someone is adjusting status with an I-130 already in place.

again asks for my immigration status on arrival which is k1 and current immigration status- still k1 as i am still to file my AOS etc? And same with the signature i should use to sign off on 

I-131:

name i use (does not ask for previous used names)

I-485:

Name: Use married name, put maiden name under other names used. Copy of marriage certificate will cover the name change.

Passport/Travel Document: Put in the passport number, leave travel document # blank, for expiration put the passport expiration date. (Travel document # is for cases when you entered US on something other than a passport (e.g. Border Crossing Card, Refugee Travel Document, Green Card, Re-entry permit, Advance Parole, any of the WHTI documents, Enhanced Driver's License, etc)).

Status on I-94: K-1

Current status: K-1

Signature: In US your signature is whatever you want, only thing that USCIS wants is that you stay consistent (i.e. use the same signature throughout, and on any follow up letters or privacy releases), so sign with the married name.

I-765:

Full legal name: Yes, use the married name

Immigration status: K-1

One important thing, for the question 27 put (c)(9)( ), NOT (a)(6).

I-131:

Just put ASAP for the planned date (print it out and pen it in)

In the purpose of the trip just say what you said here, you want in case of emergency.

Your underlying petition for the I-485 would be your approved I-129F.  Put the receipt number from your I-129F receipt or approval notice.  For the Priority Date, you may use the I-129F priority date or receipt date or filing date.  Make sure to include a copy of your I-129F receipt or approval notice in your I-485 package.
