Filling I-131 Class of addmission

[JohnTheresa 0]

Hi, I am a newbie here. I am filling for I-131 along with I-485 and I-130 for my marriage based green card. Now I am confused about I-131. Part 1 (3) asks for my class of admission. What does it mean? Then part 3 to part 7 offers different options. Since part 2 I chose option (d), should I fill out part 7 "Complete only if applying for advance parole"? Please help. Thank you all.

Class of admission is how you entered the US. Under what visa did you enter the US?

His timeline says F-1, so if that's accurate the answer is F-1.

Part 1: Q3. Your timeline says F-1. If you entered on F-1, put that here.

Part 3: Q1-2. If you have intended travel plans, enter them here. Else, enter none. Q3: be sure to check No if that's accurate. Skip to part 7 because you're applying for advance parole. Don't bother about the instruction at the top of the page saying you have to submit a written statement of reasons for advance parole. In these circumstances, filing I-131 along with I-485 is sufficient reason. Check "More than one trip". Skip Q2 and Q3 because you are not outside of the U.S.

Are you also filing I-765? It's free to file and grants employment authorization. Even if you aren't working now, there may be unexpected circumstances in which it comes in handy.

Plus, if you file I-765 and I-131 at the same time, USCIS will issue you an "Employment Authorization Document" that is also stamped "Serves as advance parole". This card is a little sturdier than the paper advance parole they will issue otherwise.
