I-94 Number to use on I-130, I-485, and I-765

[kineticfaith 0]

I'm filing I-130, I-485, and I-765 concurrently. The I-130 was filed online in February and I'm filing I-485 and I-765 right now. All three forms ask for I-94 number, but I-130 and I-765 ask for I-94 on arrival, whereas I-485 asks for the most recent I-94. I entered on B-2 visa then changed status to F-1 here, so I got a new I-94 with the F-1 approval. I already put in old I-94 number (on arrival) on I-130, how should I fill out I-485 and I-765?

 

Also, on I-765 asks for Passport Number of Your Most Recently Issued Passport, but the instructions for I-765 says, "enter either the passport or travel document information in the appropriate space on the application, even if the passport or travel document is currently expired." Does that mean I have to enter passport number I used when entering US, which was expired, or the new one I renewed with my country's consulate here?

Not sure this is definition of concurrently... Concurrent filing is typically when you send all forms in one packet.

This is the most recently issued passport, even if you never used it for travel. It doesn't ask you for passport you used to enter the US. Whichever is the last one you have, even if it's expired (in your case it's not expired)

What about the I-94 number? Which one should I use, the one the gave when I entered the country, or the new one when they approved my F-1 visa?

Thanks! Last question is, for "Immigration Status at Your Last Arrival" should be B-2 or F-1? I arrived on B-2, but changed status to F-1 here. The reason I ask is, when I pull up I-94 info on CBP website, it shows F-1 with the new I-94 number, but expiration shows only 6 months (F-1 is valid for Duration of Status).

 

This is the sequence:

1. Entered on B-2

2. Change status to F-1 here

3. Overstayed the visa since 2004

 

I'm guessing B-2 at arrival and "No Status" for current status?
