Evidence required for I-131 Advanced Parole (filing separate from i-485)

[Lychee 0]

Hi all,

 

I am filing my i-131 separately from my i-130, i-485 & i-175 packet (already submitted) and was wondering if I have the list of evidence right. I am currently on a J-1 visa that expires May so I am wondering if I will need to give all the documentation for that with my application as well.

 

List of evidence:

•  2 passport style photographs
• Passport Biographic page

Evidence of status (this is where I am confused)

• Receipt notice for i-485
• DS-2019 for my current J-1 visa
• J-1 visa page
• Latest I-94 arrival/departure record

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What exactly confuses you? (I mean this question genuinely!)
You need to prove your lawful entry/status which you have through your J-1. The files you listed are the ones you need for that.

Only thing that I see that is missing is your i-797c for your i-485, since that is your reason for applying for AP.

Check the "Checklist of Initial Required Evidence" on https://www.uscis.gov/i-131 .

Thank you! I think I was just being a little overcautious as we're submitting this form without the help of a lawyer and I wasn't sure if I missed anything relating to what I needed to prove legal status. The i-797c for i-485 (I guess the technical term haha) is the receipt notice for i-485 I was referring to. I submitted it this morning so I hope it goes okay 😅
