Question regarding I-131 and explanation of reason for leaving...

[rockhouse 1]

I am about to submit my AOS I-485 package and i am including the I-131. I do not have any intention of returning home (PI) unless one of my family dies. I think i should attach an extra sheet of paper explaining that i am only filing the I-131 in case there is a family emergency. Does anyone have an example of what i could attach to explain this to them?

Also, on the I-131, in part 3, number 3, it asks for a DHS office....what do i put there?

Thanks for any info.

You really don't need a reason for AP and you certainly don't need a full-page explanation - in your case, I might simply use the space provided on the form to write "Travel date(s) unknown but in the event of urgent need.'

Also, on the I-131, in part 3, number 3, it asks for a DHS office....what do i put there?

If you/your-spouse were in removal/deportation etc proceedings, you'd know which DHS office. Otherwise I'm presuming you are checking "No" to the first part of the question

Also, in part 7 of the form I-131, number 3 is asking , where the notice to pick up the document be sent if the travel document will be delivered to an overseas office.... i am not so sure as to what address i should put...should i put my address here in the US?? or my Philippine address.. .(i just wanna make sure i do this right.. thanks)

Well.. presumably you're adjusting status from the US (while living here) so I can't imagine you'd want the AP documents to go to PI. (Most people will select "To the address shown in Part 2", which I also presume is your home address.)

Thanks for taking the time and helping me, but i checked the box labeled "D" on Part 2, only box "F" asks for an address, (which i didn't check), so there is no address filled out anywhere in Part 2...only Part 1 has my USA address.

I was using the VJ example form to fill it out and it shows box "D" as being checked...which doesn't ask me to provide an address for Part 2.

I see.. you're correct - you'd leave the portions below the tick-box "More than 1 trip" in section 7 blank. (As shown in the example form.)

And it looks like if you did decide to include a brief explanation as to why you may want AP - you'll need to attach a separate addendum (I could have sworn there was a small space provided, obviously not.) No real proof is needed for AP unless you're applying for emergency purposes and you need the request expedited (then you'd need some proof.)
