I-131 Form

[u2rsobad 0]

I posted this yesterday on the March filers thread, but does anyone here have an answer for me?

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to mail everything out on Monday for AOS, but I noticed there was a change to the I-131 as of 3/5/08, and it's the form I'm a bit confused about so any advice would be appreciated. On the vj guide sample on part 2 they check box "d" applying for advance parole, but it's not filled out anywhere else on the form as advanced parole and we don't have an actual "intended date of departure" for Part 3 so how do you fill out that part and part 4? Unfortunately, my crappy computer here at work keeps freezing every time I try to download the instructions for this form..can anyone tell me?

Also, am I understanding correctly that we have to pay an additional $80 for this now or is this still included in the $1010?

Thanks for any advice

If you don't have an actual date of intended departure or the expected length of trip, you can at least put a certain date you think you might have a plan to travel.

We assumed we'll be traveling on such date and the length of trip. It doesn't mean that we/you will actually travel on the said date or not.

Think it won't be a problem, for in the future we/you know you will travel some time. And you need that AP approval for you to do so.

No you don't need to pay additional $80 for filing I-131. All you need to pay is the $1,010 for the AOS, AED and AP.

Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I had read everywhere else that it was included in the total until I saw the change a couple of days ago on March 5th and thought oh great...more money!

I appreciate the replies, thanks again!

Thanks..I had the form address, but for some reason it wouldn't let me download the instructions...my computer here at work is the worst in our office and it kept freezing up. I appreciate the link though

hello,

I am wondering if you can pay your fees with personal check? The local post office will not sell money orders that high?

thanks,
