USCIS plans to add electronic filing for I-485, I-765, I-131, I-129 and I-589.

[Redheadguy03 505]

It says they plan to add those forms fy 2020. My wife's ROC is next year, but doesn't look like ROC is on that list. We'll probably end up never getting it approved before she's eligible for naturalization anyway, but who knows. 

 

Electronic is definitely better, it should mean less error.

Online applications are a lot more convenient than paper qualifications.....wish it came earlier.

Also if coded properly, they should prevent any errors that can be checked on the form (and 'incorrect payment' rejections).

Online Filing

The agency’s transition from paper applications to a fully digital experience continues to be an important priority for USCIS. Consequently, USCIS continues to expand our online filing capabilities.

• In FY 2019, 1,214,300 applications were filed online, a 10.4% increase from the 1,100,242 filed in FY 2018.
• USCIS added three forms (N-600, N-600K, and I-539) during FY 2019 for a total of eight forms (I-90, I-131A, N-336, N-400, N-565, N-600, N-600K and I-551) available now for online filing.
• USCIS plans to add several more forms for electronic filing during FY 2020, including the I-485, I-765, I-131, I-129 and I-589.
• Additionally, USCIS stood up FIRST, the federal government’s first fully electronic FOIA/Privacy Act request and delivery system that allows users to submit and track FOIA requests and receive documents digitally. In FY 2019, more than 26,000 electronic responses have been delivered to indivduals with online accounts.

Form I-131 - Application for a Travel Document, essentially when you apply for Adjustment of Status you can apply for a Travel Document called "Advanced Parole." If you need to travel while your adjustment is being processed you can use this document, which is sometimes added to an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) if filed at the same time, to re-enter the United States after a temporary trip abroad/overseas. After your K-1 visa has been approved by the US Consulate in your country, you receive your visa in your passport, and enter the US you be at this stage. You will apply or Adjustment of Status (AOS) via form I-485, Employment Authorization Document via I-765, and a Travel Document called "Advanced Parole" (AP) via I-131 all at the same time. 

 

You do not need to worry about the I-131A as this is only for those who have traveled abroad/overseas and lost their green card.
