I-485 filling questions

[goukoy 0]

Hello all,

I have a few questions on filling out form I-485, so I want to double check here, and hopefully someone can confirm that what I was thinking was correct.

[1]. Part 2. (Application Type)

For this one, my wife is K3 visa holder and she already got the approved I-130 from USCIS, so do I just check (a)? and attach the I-130 approval? I don't see there is an option for K3 visa holders, please let me know whether I am correct.

[2]. A#

When my wife was applying I-129F, it gives her an A#, but I-130 didn't mention it, so on the I-485 form where they ask for A#, do I just use that A# we got from I-129F?

[3]. Part 3. B (A# of spouse)

I got my citizenship through naturalization, so before when I have my green card, I have an A# too, but now I am a citizen, and don't have my greencard anymore. Does that mean I can just put 'N/A' on Part 3. B asking for spouse's A#?

Any help/answers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

1 H, and "I entered as a K-3 Spouse of a United States Citizen"

2 A# is the same as on the I-129F NOA

3 You can put NONE

goukoy,

Give your A#. The USCIS has a file on you, your A# is the reference to it. (They'll be able to find your file anyway if they want it, but why make things hard for them?)

Thank you guys for the quick responses. So YuAndDan, you think even I have the I-130 approved, it does not qualify for (a) of Part 2? (An immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been approved....)

I am just curious.

And Todrak, you think giving my A# to the USCIS won't mess them up and confuse them? I hope they know I am citizen now instead of PR.

I found those people at USCIS are not that intelligent (from previous phone conversations), so just want to make sure it's crystal clear to them.

Thank you again guys.

goukoy,

I'm in the exact same situation. My wife's I-130 was approved shortly after her I-129F was approved but we went ahead with K-3 visa option thinking we'll apply for Adjustment of Status upon arriving in US. Right now I'm preparing paperwork to apply for her AOS and had the same questions. After giving it some thought I've decided to enter information as:

[1]. Part 2. (Application Type) - (a) an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has beenapproved. - This makes sense since her I-130 has been approved and an immigrant visa is ready for her.

[2]. A# - I missed this one. I didn't realize that she has an alien # now after I-129F approval. I left it blank but now I'm going to use her A# as it appears on approval notice.

[3]. Part 3. B (A# of spouse) - I remember there was a field for petitioner's A# either on I-129F form or I-130 or G-325A (can't recall exactly which one). Even though I'm a US citizen now, I used my A# that was assigned to me when I was green card holder for that field. I didn't effect anything. I intend to do the same for I-485 filling. I personally don't think it is complicated in anyway to confuse the immigration officer so it's really up to you.

Good luck!

Thanks Azhar! I think we are in very similar situation here. I will check Part 2 (a) as my answer. I think this makes sense since I-130 immigration petition is already approved for my wife. I will fill out my A# as well I guess, and cross my fingers. Hopefully they don't mess it up. Do you plan to send copy of your citizen naturalization certificate to them with I-485. It's not required anywhere in the form....but I was just wondering if they need that for proof.

goukoy,

Personally, I intend to follow the guide here step by step: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1k3aos

I guess it probably won't make a difference either way if you send or not your naturalization certificate copy because they probably take I-130 approval as the starting point for the AOS and naturalization certificate copy has already been done with during I-130 filing process.

Good luck!
