Hello,
I am planning to adjust my status after arriving with a K1 visa to the US. However, I have encountered a few unclear sections in the new I-485 form, and not sure if I understand it correctly. I would appreciate your help and assistance on how to fill certain sections in the form listed below. I read the I-485 instructions before writing this post and these questions are not explained.
Part 1 Item 10 Nonimmigrant visa number. Is the K1 visa number is the one on the right bottom that starts with a letter and 7 numbers? It has shiny letters.
Part 1 Item 14 What is your current immigration status (if it has changed since your arrival)? I am going to apply for AOS within 90 days. So I should write K1 Visa holder right or K1 fiance?
Which number is A-number? Is it a number from my K1 visa when I received NOA1, and NOA2?
Part 1 Information about you. Prior address, I listed the address where I stayed for 3-4 months most recently. Because my current address is in the US and I haven't resided there for 5 years. As a reference check the image named "address" that I attached to this post.
Then next question is "Most Recent address outside the United States" Provide your most recent physical address outside the United States where you lived for more than one year. But I only stayed longer than one year in one address but it was 3 years ago. So it is not really the most recent location but that is where I stayed longer for more than 1 year. So should I fill in the address where I stayed in Sweden or the most recent one where I stayed 11 months?
Part 4. Additional Information about you. Item 1 Have you ever applied for an immigrant visa to obtain permanent resident status at a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate abroad? I marked it No, since a K1 visa is technically a non-immigrant visa. Is that correct?
Part 4. Employment and Educational history. 7 Provide all of your employment and educational history for the last 5 years as indicated in the instructions. Including employment and retirement periods and list sources of financial support.
It is quite confusing it asks employer or school and then they ask Name of the Employer, Company or school again. It is literally the same name.
Then regarding the unemployment should I also list 9 days of unemployment as well?
If I came with K1 visa and do not work right now, should I list that financial support as my wife (Fiance/Sponsor USC from K1 visa).
Part 8. Provide your most recent employer or school outside the United States (if not already listed above). Again it is quite confusing. I already wrote a position outside the United States which was the most recent which is the university where I received my degree. Or should I write that first I'm unemployed first and then in Part 8 write the most recent thing was my university which I attended?
Part 6 Item 1 What is your current marital status? I just married my fiance (USC), so it is okay mark "Married" right?
Part 6 Item 9 Date of Marriage to Current Spouse. Do they want a date when we married or the date when the marriage certificate was issued? Because technically marriage is considered legal after the judge approves and signs the marriage license and the probate court issues it.
Part 9 Item 43a Received any weapons training paramilitary training or other military-type training? So If I did temporarily a mandatory military service, does that count?
Part 9 Item 50 Have you EVER served in, been a member of, assisted (helped), or participated in any military or police unit? If I served in a military academy for a little bit as part of mandatory military service I should mark this question as "YES", correct?
Part 9 Item 58 Indicate your annual household income. Should you indicate the income from the IRS tax return transcript or W2?
Part 9 Item 59 Identify the total value of your household assets. If we won't use assets in the I-864 form should we still mark the assets?
Part 9 Item 60 Identify the total value of your household liabilities (including both secured and unsecured liabilities). Should my wife list her college debt?
Part 9 Item 62 List your certifications. I understand the question but not sure if it is okay to list your skills as well without certification. As for certifications, it should be a high school diploma and etc? What other certifications are they referring to?
I appreciate your help and time. I'm really thankful for any type of help.
