I-131 FORM. DO I REALLY NEED IT?

[kittyanne 45]

Im a k-1 visa holder currently here in the USA and justgot married. Me and my husband are about to file Adjustment of Status. 

 

We are confused if we really need to submit i-131 form since i dont have plan to return to my country or visit any other countries yet.

 

Im confused if i should i put something on part 3 (processing information) 1 and 2 and 3.a? and part 4? (information about your travel)

I strongly advise you to file the I-131......It costs nothing if filed with the I-485.....Others have failed to submit the I-131, but regretted that decision later......just do it, imo.

 

You do not have to indicate firm travel plans.....

It costs nothing if filed with your AOS, and given the ever increasing times for GC approval, it would be silly NOT to do it. You never know when you may want or need to make a trip home

Is it okay if i don't put anything on Part 3, 4, 5, and 7? and just answer the basic questions?

I believe most people treat this form as "better have it and not need it than need it, and not have it" There are no additional documents that need to be included with it, just an extra copy of some basic ones, and no fee to file. You do not need to put specific travel days, or anything like that.

You dont know when an emergency could arrive and you need go back to your country.

At least if you dont have family or nobody that you dont care , then you dodnt need it if you dont left behind nobody important that in case of emergency you need see.

On my i put: visit my family.

I was fine.

Now i sent my renewal again and put the same.

I sent my aos package on april 2018, i had my interview on july 30, 2018 and no decision yet.

As you can see next month it will be one year after my interview and no decision, to be safe i sent the i-131 renewal again because expire on september 9.

Now aos it is taking so long so be safe and send i-165 and i-131

we dont have any plans yet to travel.. did you put date on intended date of travel and expected length of trip? or you just fill the essay?

 

what is I-165? 

 

do you have your temporary/conditional green card? and just waiting for your green card? 

 

how do you know if your I-131 will expire?
