Sawasdee AOS

[malydon 0]

Hi All,

My wife Bennie arrived in the US on 30 June on a K3. We are now just starting the AOS process. I am hoping some of you may have experience with K3 AOS and can help with the following questions:

Is there any process for abondaning the I-130? Any forms to fill out?

On the I-485:

1) We do not have an A# that I know of. At least I can not find on any documentation that we have. Am I missing something?

2) We filled out a I-94 but immigration just took it away from Bennie and there is nothing stapled in her passport. What do we put for "I-94#"?

3) What should we put for "Current USCIS Status"?

4) What do we put for "Were you inspected by a U.S. Immigration Officer?" She was interviewed at POE. Would this warrant a yes?

5) What do we put for "In what status did you last enter?" they do not mention K-3 here......should we just write in K-3?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Jim

I don't pretend to know anything about the K3 but I will give you my opinions.

1) I found my wifes A# on the Noa that was mailed to us. it is A######### you should see it someplace..

2) My wife came in on a K1 and has her I94 in her passport. If you don't have it anylonger don't put it in.

3) K3 applying for AOS

4) Yes

5) Yes I would put in K3....what else could it be?

Best of luck to both you and Beanie

Thanks Mike and Jass,

We found our A# - just where you said it would be. And, we applied for a duplicate I-94 at a $160 fee. That kind of hurts since the POE officer made the mistake of not stapling the I-94 to Bennie's passport....or giving back to us at all.

They really sock it to you with all of the adjustment of status paperwork. I hope to complete it today, Jum did her part yesterday and I need to get my passport type of picture taken again today. So, here is what I am reading, $395 for the AOS application ($70 biometrics included), $180 for the Work Permit application, and $170 for the permission to travel outside of the country while waiting on the completion of the AOS process. That's $745 total if I am reading it correctly. Am I right?

Thanks,

C.J.

Yep, we are applying for her advance parole so we can have a wedding reception in Thailand early next year. I hope that our trip through this AOS process is simple.

Hey everyone. What are you supposed to take to the AOS interview when you already filed for the advance parole and work card. Most the stuff I already submitted. What should I use for supporting evidence of my relationship? Thanks for the advice

CJ,

The I-765 and the I-131 are optional - 'up to you' as they say. But I see why she would want the I-131 from your subsequent post.

As anya-D asked - why do you need your passport-type picture?

skyman,

You will want to take the originals of significant documents you submitted with your petition and her visa and adjustment applications - birth certificates, divorce certificates, marriage certificate, things like that.

For evidence of your relationship, well .... everyone is different. Take whatever you have that shows you two have established a shared life here in the USA.
