DETAILED ANSWERS ARE APPRECIATED

QUESTION #1: Part 1 of the form i-485 asks for A#, (At the point of entry immigration officer wrote an A # on the visa page of the passport) Should we put the A# that is written on the K-1 Visa page of the passport or leave it blank?

QUESTION #2: The instructions state: 1. Criminal History (There are no arrests or no criminal history) Do we have to include the police record obtained in original country, or obtain a criminal record statement from the US courts, or do nothing?

Your A# is also on the NOA2 you received during the K1 process. Look at that number, and write it down,

You do not need to include your police certificate, that is only needed for the embassy.

So if my fiance' has no criminal record, when we adjust status after marriage, we include no evidence of criminal history because he didn't/doesn't have one? So in essence, we will do nothing on this part of "initial evidence" for the I-485?

I don't know how it relates to your K-1 visa stuff (because I didn't do it), but as far as AOS's concern, no. I had no criminal records in any country, so I included nothing. Unless your spouse-to-be has any, I believe that you don't include anything, except that you answer to the questions on the I-485 form, 'no, no, no, no...' That's what I did on mine. Of course, at the interview, your IO will ask your spouse again with the same questions. Obviously,' no, no, no, no...' to all the questions.

For the record, when you receive the NOA for the interview, you'll see a separate sheet of paper that clearly indicates that you don't bring anything with you unless you have criminal records.

Cheers.

Yes! I am approved!!! :)

It took only two (2) months to be approved. Hooray!

That is correct - if you answered "No" to a question in Section 3 (that's what we're talking about here), you do not need to provide any explanation/documentation. If you answered "Yes", then you would (see instructions Page 2 under 'Initial Evidence' for specifics). :thumbs:
