Jane Green,
I was filling out my second 485 form and found out that you need to provide the Alien number. They could find out through the Alien number or Social Security Number that a person has two 485 pending. Is this a concern? Thanks.
Not only that, but there is also a question on I-485 : “have you ever applied for a GC before. If yes then when and where and the finial disposition”
You have to be truthful with INS. They will find out, one way or another and it’s better to be from you.
While reading old post from other people on this board, I learn that INS usually gives a hard time to applicants, who applied before and then reapply again later, but didn’t stated that on their new I-485.
Even if the old application was canceled for any reason, INS still wants to know if you ever before applied. They all (people, who wrote those massages) got adjusted.
When I filed my second I-485 I provided them with my receipt number, the notice date and the copy of my first pending I-485, among other supporting documents. I also typed a personal letter and attached to my application.
So far – I still have two pending I-485, in two different categories and two different service centers and none of then contacted me yet. I am sure I will have to answer bunch of silly questions during my adjustment interview, but I am ready. I keep track of every document, receipt or a letter I get from INS, I keep a file full of copies of every applications I ever filed with INS during all these years of waiting.
Good luck to you and please write me back how it goes with your application.
