BTW - This is for the G-28 No - they are applying on their own behalf for AOS. Check "Applicant" Link to comment
georgeandli Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 griz326, Your wife and daughter are, as you guessed, "applying". If you are going the full blown[with filing the EAD and AP concurrent] route, you'll need a separate G-28 for each one, ya? Link to comment
dnoblett Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 AOS is the NON-Immigrant petitioning to adjust status to Immigrant (Resident) The NON-Resident is Petitioner, Applicant, Beneficiary... The only time the US Citizen is petitioner is when they file an I-129F or I-130 for a visa. Link to comment

Randy W Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 AOS is the NON-Immigrant petitioning to adjust status to Immigrant (Resident) The NON-Resident is Petitioner, Applicant, Beneficiary... The only time the US Citizen is petitioner is when they file an I-129F or I-130 for a visa. The I-129F is a "Petition . . ". The I-485 (AOS) is an "Application . . ." Only one term applies - it would be applicant. The USCIS terminology seems pretty consistent here. You file a "petition" for someone else - the "beneficiary". You "apply" for yourself.

LeeFisher3 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Using a G-28 for your spouse or child after they have entered the US for anything with USCIS the spouse or child will be the applicant. Each of them submits their own application. On the G-28 only your spouse or child's name appears in the top section, this is the same person who the application such as I-485 lists as the person applying. They are the applicant. Do not put the USC name here and do not try to do one G-28 for 2 or more applications. Usually the second name block at the top contains the word NONE. The USC's information is entered in the boxes just below item 4 and item 4 is checked with a statement saying "Husband of applicant". In the section below the name block under item 4 you need to put your name on the line as the Representative and below the bold type put the application name and number such as:I-485, Application to Adjust Status. Your spouse is the person consenting and depending on the age of your child, your spouse can sign for them. If you are filing for AOS, EAD and AP you would need 3 separate G-28's, one for each. It's a real simple form with absolutely no instructions. Link to comment
