Need some clarifications about my AOS procedure

[麦肯2019 0]

Good day all,

I (the principal beneficiary) have all necessary USCIS forms for AOS however there are areas on these forms I still do not understand how to fill.

 

1 - the forms request employment history but I was a research student (masters & Phd) abroad for the last six years and we weren’t authorized to seek employment, or paid to be TAs while we did research during that time. I currently have a legal status here in the US but not authorized to seek employment until I can adjust my status accordingly. How do I reply to the employment section of the forms?

2- My wife (USC) has a son. We do not have a child together yet. I do not have a child outside our marriage. Do I still get to list her son as my step-child (form I-485, page 8, part 6) ?

3- I was a student member of several academic research associations based in the US and in the last 5 years I had the opportunity to attend & present several research papers at their annual seminars here in the US. Is this information relevant to (I-485, page 9, part 8, item 1)? 

4- Finally, do I leave all sections not applicable to me blank, or do I print “N/A” or “NONE” (for numerals). 

 

Thank you.

Thank you

1. Fill out any and all jobs that paid you to work - within or outside the US does not matter, you have to list it (I believe the form specifies this too). I was an F1 to J1, and I listed my MS, PhD positions as employments because well, they are. I worked abroad briefly, and I mentioned this too.

2. Hopefully some else can help you on this one.

3. No.

4. I left all non applicable sections blank but some people have done N/A... I don't think it will matter either way.

 

Good luck with your process!
