AOS i-131

[US2UK 33]

I'm adjusting from a K1, and have a few questions about form I-131. 

 

Part 3: processing information: date of intended departure, expected length of trip. 

Q1: I don't have these right now. Should I leave blank or put an estimate?

 

Also, at the end of part 3 it says that if you're applying for non-DACA then you can skip to part 7 

Q2: I'm not DACA right, so I can skip to part 7. However should I still complete the following:

- Part 3 Q5: where do you want this travel document sent?

- Part 4: information about proposed travel? (purpose of trip and list of countries you intend to visit)

 

For Part 7 "Complete only if you are applying for advance parole" asks to include a separate piece of paper on how you qualify, etc. I see there is an example form on this site in the "Example Immigration Forms" part. 

Q3: I'm adjusting from a K-1, so is this supplement required from me?

This form has multiple purposes.  Use the instructions for Advanced Parole.

 

You don't need to show a reason or travel plans or dates.

 

For part 7 if you file with the I-485 you don't need to check anything other than more than one trip.

Q1- just say like a couple of weeks. Doesn’t have to be accurate.

Q2 - you have to fill those out.

Q3 - it’s not required, since it looks like you’re applying along with the I-485.

 

Follow this example, which is accurate.

An option is to put a very unreasonable date, like 06/11/2020. And a random length, like 20 days. I filed my I-131 on 12/28/2018 and put 01/07/2019 for "Date of Intended Departure," and 21 for "Expected Length of Trip." It was approved for multiple trips between 09/24/2019 and 09/23/2020.

Yes, select that box.

I didn't attach a separate piece of paper. Instead, I used Part 4 (see below).

Even though earlier on the form it says to skip, I filled it out. I put: "To visit my father and my youngest brother and his family." I put my native country, El Salvador, for Q2.

I put "as-needed" for the reason and "TBD" for the date. No specific date or reason is needed for AP due to a pending AOL application.

I personally would not suggest making up a date. If you actually had a date in mind, that's fine, but I would not put any specific date unless I actually had such plans.

If you are applying for Advance Parole through AOS i485, evidence/proof of reason why you are traveling is not needed? I saw instructions say to attach "Evidence that your trip is for educational, employment, or humanitarian purposes"?

Sure you can list a trip - you don't need any evidence and you aren't limited to just that trip and date.   Here is a sample:
