I-485 REF - Please help!

[misspkm 0]

Hello there.

So far my experience with this whole K-1 process and now AOS process have been all good; up until today.

I received a REF saying that I did not fill out the I-485 properly, and off course they did not put what was missing in there. Now I am worried about it.

My questions are:

What is my USCIS status? - My K-1 accordingly to the I-94 was expired on Aug 21, 2008 am I still considered a K-1 status??? Or am I something else. In my mind I am nothing right now - just married to a USC. Please help.

Next question under "list your present husband/wife, kids..."

Should I list my husband, and is he then applying with me or not??? A bit confused here. He is a USC and does not have a A#... Please help.

Appreciate quick answers!! I am scared...

Next question under "list your present husband/wife, kids..."

An I-485 is the alien's application. Fill it out as if the USC is not involved in the application per se, other than providing the I-864.

your status would be AOS pending

yes, you should list your husband but he's not applying with you. under the A#, write NONE since he is a USC

good luck!

Just to clarify - the USC spouse is to be listed on the I-485, there is a tic-box to select if they are applying with you or not (which if they are a USC, they're not applying with you).

If you are referring to Part 3, A. ="In what status did you last enter" you entered at a K-1 Visa Holder.

Part 3. B.= You list your Husband. And there is a box that you will check that says "Applying with you" check NO
