K-1 to AOS - I-485 education question

[MalloryCat 211]

Hello all,

 

We are going to be submitting my husbands AOS packet in the next few days and have a question.

For this section of I-485, how scrutinized is this for AOS from K-1? We are trying to figure out exactly what to put for number 66.

My husband went to school in Germany. He completed 10th year and then did 2 years in vocational training, completed it, and earned a certificate/diploma for this. This isn't a high school diploma.

Our question is, what box do we need to tick? Grades 1 through 11? high school diploma, GED, or alternative credential?

I would tick the "High School diploma, GED or alternative credential" box. As for how much it is scrutinized, these questions are all used to give the officer information so they can make their discretionary decision on wether the immigrant is inadmissible because they believe they will become a public charge. They take the totality of information in this section, AND the I-864 to make their decision.
