PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY CONCERNS ABOUT I-131 FORM(ADVANCE PAROLE)

[sweetpink 1]

The form I-131 quite confuses me. I don't have any specific plan of when to go back/visit to my country again. How am I supposed to fill in this form specially on part 3 down to the bottom part. I checked the sample form here in vj but most of the part are blank.

Can anyone help me please! Next week I am about to send my AOS papers.

You only need that form if you're planning on travelling outside the USA while your AoS is pending. If you have no such plans, why file this and spend good money?

i am sending my AOS packet next week too...i filled out the I-131 form too cuz it said it was optional and it doesnt cost anything extra if u send it along with your I-485...we are wanting to go to mexico in december of this year...so is there no purpose for us to fill out this form or should we go ahead and attach it and put when we are wanting to go to mexico?

Definitely file for AP, you never know how long AOS will take, and its better to have permission to leave in case something happens, or you simply want a vacation. Since it's included in your AOS fees, make USCIS work for their money!

On Part 3, we didnt have a specific date either, we just put an "estimate" of when we'd like to go... I put 3 months, so they would hurry up and process the AP timely

Because as of July 1, AP and EAD are INCLUDED in the $1010 fee for AOS. You might as well file for it, you are already paying for it.

I just put in an estimated date. And I bumped it forward in the small slim chance they may take it into consideration and push my application sooner.

Well, since it is already included in the new pricing, you might as well. I'd just put in some arbitrary date....at least a few months from now.

for the AP's we applied for we always put "future travel" and went on to explain what that meant to us (ie: elderly mother in Egypt, periodic international travel for work). Never had any issues.

What is your specific question with part 3 on the AP application?

If you don't know when you'd like to travel just put an estimated date in.

The I-131 is a multiple use form (for advance parole, re-entry-permit etc.), that's why there are a couple of options on it. As a K1 holder who files for AOS or with pending AOS status you fill out the form exactly the way the example shows it. Which means, you will leave a lot blank because it simply doesn't apply to you (it says so on it, too: skip parts 4, 5 and 6 if applying for advance parole).

Like stated above, put an estimated date in. That will be just fine.

As for the form: The example form here on VJ shows exactly how a K1 holder should file the form. I-131 is a multiple use form, so in your case you will simply have to ignore some of the parts (that's why the example form has all the blank spots as well).

Fill in your info in part 1, mark d) in part 2 and fill in part 3 as shown in the example (just with your dates, of course). Then go to part 7. Part 4, 5 and 6 don't apply to you (as a K1 holder applying for AP with AOS).

I just put "unknown" for intended departure date.

If you have a valid reason for applying and write that on a separate piece of paper you shouldn't have any trouble. I didn't.
