on part 3, Were you inspected by a U.S. Immigration Officer?

FORM G-325A

 

This form is submitted in connection with an application for which of the following concerning a K-3

__Other

 

 

 

 

 

One last question, or request I should say.

 

From start to finish, what forms do I need for EAD, and for AOS.

 

I have:

I-765 for employment.

 

I have:

I-485 for AOS, along with I-864, I-864A, G-325A as required supporting forms to accompany the I-485.

 

Are there any government forms I'm missing, just forms, not counting birth cert and what not?

 

And do I need to pay the fees for the supporting forms I send with the I-485 if they have an associated fee or would that only apply when filing them seperately?

 

 

 

*PANT PANT*, I hope that's all.

I-485

on part 2, APPLICATION TYPE

 

1. Which is the correct box for a K-3 visa holder to check?

• check {a.} Attach a copy of the I-797C I-130 approval notice.
  

on part 3, Were you inspected by a U.S. Immigration Officer?

 

2. What would constitute an inspection, What would it consist of? Is it like a general airport security check, or one of those rubber glove in the hiney things? (didn't have that happen, just curious)

• Check Yes and leave it at that. She was inspected by the immgration inspectors at the POE
  

SUPPLEMENT A TO FORM I-485

 

1. Do I need to fill this out, wife is a K-3? I hope not, it's 1000$.

• No suppliment form I-485 needed. Only the I-485 and evidential documents.
  

FORM I-765

 

Line 9 asks for Social Security Number *include all numbers if yuo have ever used) (if any).

 

1. My wife had a temporary SSN card while here in the USA as a student, would i put that number on line 9? I am unsure if it's still valid, or how that would work.

• Yes, list that number if she has a social security number already. This will help in the process.
  

FORM G-325A

 

This form is submitted in connection with an application for which of the following concerning a K-3

 

__Naturilization

 

__Status as Permanent Resident

 

__Other

One last question, or request I should say.

 

From start to finish, what forms do I need for EAD, and for AOS.

 

I have:

I-765 for employment.

 

I have:

I-485 for AOS, along with I-864, I-864A, G-325A as required supporting forms to accompany the I-485.

 

Are there any government forms I'm missing, just forms, not counting birth cert and what not?

• The G-325A, I-864...sounds like you've got it covered as far as the government forms are concerned. Don't forget the evidential documents and don't forget to read the instructions pertaining to such.
  

And do I need to pay the fees for the supporting forms I send with the I-485 if they have an associated fee or would that only apply when filing them seperately?

• You only need to pay the fees associated with the form you are filing, ie., I-485, I-765. There are no other fees that I'm aware of. You can go to the USCIS forms on their website to see.

Yes, that is the POE

Taking the immigration packet, and stamping the passport and I-94 card.

SUPPLEMENT A TO FORM I-485

 

1. Do I need to fill this out, wife is a K-3? I hope not, it's 1000$.

NO, this form is used in special cases, like an amnestey period in the early 80's

FORM I-765

 

Line 9 asks for Social Security Number *include all numbers if yuo have ever used) (if any).

 

1. My wife had a temporary SSN card while here in the USA as a student, would i put that number on line 9? I am unsure if it's still valid, or how that would work.

there are no temporary SSN, if a person is issued one it is their's for life, use that number. Later after getting EAD or Green-card you will visit SSA office to update the card.

FORM G-325A

 

This form is submitted in connection with an application for which of the following concerning a K-3

 

__Naturilization

 

__Status as Permanent Resident

 

__Other

Status as Permanent Resident (This is what AOS is about) Green-card "Lawfull Permanet Resident"

One last question, or request I should say.

 

From start to finish, what forms do I need for EAD, and for AOS.

 

I have:

I-765 for employment.

 

I have:

I-485 for AOS, along with I-864, I-864A, G-325A as required supporting forms to accompany the I-485.

 

Are there any government forms I'm missing, just forms, not counting birth cert and what not?

 

And do I need to pay the fees for the supporting forms I send with the I-485 if they have an associated fee or would that only apply when filing them seperately?

You have it correct. No I-864A unless you are depending on a family member in your household to suplement an income shortfall. If your income exceed 125% poverty line with immigrant, and any dependents, then consider I-864EZ is is simpler to understand. I-864P explains how much 125% poverty line is.

Don't forget AP (Advanced Parole) I-131, if she would like to leave the country, and EAD (Employment Authorization) I-765 if she would like to work while waiting for the green card.

 

There are additional fees for these applications.

Not required in the OP's case, they are K-3, that visa is multi entry for 2 years.

 

Some on K-3 just file for EAD, then wait until 2 year wedding anniversary, then file AOS to avoid the conditional green card.

Can they file for EAD without also filing for AOS? (Yes - never mind)

The EAD will be needed not only for employment purposes but also if she wants a driver's license until she gets the GC.

One other thing left out, I-693 Medical Exam, K-3 need to visit a Civil Surgeon and have a medical done, this can be included in the paperwork to be sent in with the AOS paperwork, or can be done before an AOS interview. Having it done and sent in with the AOS, may increase the likelihood of an approval without interview.
