Hello Team, 

 

I am applying permanent residence for my dad who is currently in the US on Visitor visa. (Mom passed away recently). Iam filling his i-485 and have the below questions - 

  1. Part 4- Information about parent/SPOUSE
    1. Dad's mom has no Family name- What should be entered?
    2. Dad's parents DOB is unknown - DO we enter Unknown?
    3. Information about current spouse- DO we enter anything here (Since Mom passed away )
  2. Part 16 and 17 regarding SSN- Do I need SSN for my Dad? He retired long back and will not work.
  3. Can the i-485 be signed electronically or do we need physical signature (Asking because he is currently with my other sister in a different state)?
  4. Every page has an A-Number. can we leave it blank?

I’d put “no family name”

Put N/A as he’s widowed (no longer married).

Absolutely. It’s not just for working, you might need for health insurance, to open a bank account, etc.

E-signatures are not accepted. What is accepted though is a scanned document of a wet signature. So you could send the page where he needs to sign by email, he prints it out, sign it physically with a pen, scans it again and sends to you by email and you print it out.

Yes as he doesn’t have one yet.
