Not sure about the rejection package but I don't believe this will effect your current status in any way. Also, as long as you re-file everything (that is if you do get rejected) before your current OPT expires and your status is pending, you should be okay. Good luck with everything!

Thank you! We'll see what happens. 

Hi, Everyone.

I mailed my AOS application ON February 24, 2020 at Chicago lockbox and USCIS received the package on February 25, 2020. I did know about the public charge rule but I didn't know some forms were updated like I-485/I-864 and you also have to submit an additional form I think. I've used old edition forms for I-485 and I am freaking out because I know my application is going to be rejected because of that. Does anyone have any idea if they're going to return my package? and if I have to pay the fee again and re-send the application? I haven't received NOA/Text msg or anything and I am so stressed and not sure what to do. Also, I am on STEM OPT which doesn't expire until February 2021 so if my AOS application gets rejected then will it affect my existing OPT? 

Hi,

I  just got married in December 2019 and just started to prepare my AOS file. I had some questions regarding form I-485 and I-130 and I am hoping I will get some answers here. 

Form I-485

1. The very first field of this form is A-Number so I was confused if I need to fill that out or not. I am on STEM OPT right now so I do have an EAD and also Alien/USCIS no. so should I put that info over there and same info on other forms or leave it blank? 

2.  Do I need to put my Nickname in the section "Other names you have used since birth"  field? since in the instructions it says include your nicknames etc? and some of the evidence for my marriage has my Nickname on it so not sure what to do here.

3. In the section "Recent Immigration History" Page 2 it says to enter Non-immigrant Visa Number from THIS passport but my current visa is in old passport so do I still need to put my visa number here or leave it blank since I don't have any visa stamp on my new passport.

Form I-130

Part -4 Beneficiary's Entry Information : In this section  I am confused about what to put under "he/she arrived as a (Class of admission) -- The first time I came to USA was on tourist visa but I went back and applied for my F-1 visa and came back so should I put F-1 or Tourist visa here? 

I'd appreciate if someone can help me with these questions. 

Thank you!!

Hi,

I am also on STEM OPT and going to file my AOS by the end of this month and I was hoping if someone could help me here! Since I am on STEM OPT I already have an A - Number so do I need to put that on top of i-485 form? or leave it blank? I have some other questions regarding form I-130, Beneficiary's Entry Information. The very first time I entered USA was on tourist visa(B1/B2} but I went back and applied for F1 Visa and came back on my student visa so what should I put in "He/She arrived as"  field? F-1 Student or Tourist? Any help is appreciated! 

Thank you!!
