DV 2013 AOS Only

question on I485 and Advanced parol

hi, I have the same situation.My wife won dv 2013 and now we should file in July, I have some questions. In I485, part2, should my wife check box (h) and write Diversity winner? Should I check box (b) as her dependent? Should we send our package in the same envelope with just a single 2140$ check?
for I-131, what should we write in part 3, date of intended departure if we do not want to go outside?
I will appreciate if you can help me.

Thanks a lot aos13 and everyone else for the support!

Yes. Yes. Yes but two separate checks would be better. I do not know about I131.

You don't need the AP form if you're not planning on traveling out of the US before the completion of your AOS. But if there's a remote possibility you might, you can simply put the date about 3 to 4 months from when you send in your I-485 package. They are not sticklers for an exact travel date.
 
Thanks

Thanks for reply, so I should check (b) at part 2 in I-485 as dependent? I read somewhere that I should also check (h), I am confused:(

As the dependent, you select (B). Only the main applicant selects (H) and indicates he/she is a DV lottery winner by writing : "DV VISA LOTTERY WINNER-COPY OF LETTER ATTACHED" in front of the selection.

I just realized I made a mistake in my spouse I 485 application related to this question, I think I checked H for both of us. What to do now, will I be disqualified or rejected?
I should have extraa attention.
 
Walk-in Bio

Hi

I've just done a "walk-in" bio in ASC in New York City. My original appointment is June 5.

Ladies, please learn from my big mistake: I didn't put any make-up on (because I thought it was just a finger-printing), but was taken a picture after the finger-printing, and was told that the picture will be printed on the greencard...:(
I hope there is a way to update the picture after I receive the first card...

Sealed medical check envelope.
 
Hi everyone I will be sending my I-485 shortly, I am currently on E3 visa which allows me to work only for one employer, I am thinking of applying for EAD I-765 concurrently with the I-485.
My goal is I get the EAD before the GC so I don’t have the visa employer restriction, will that strategy work? Is it worth it? Or do I just wait till I get the GC.
I also want to apply for advance parole in case I wanted to travel before getting the GC, will this cause any delays or have other consequences?
 
Rejection

Our I-485 and I-131 applications have been rejected because "Priority date couldn't be established" :(
We re feeling scared now because our case number is high (current in July).
Do you guys recommend reapplying in June and attaching the Visa Bulleting which clearly indicates that our case is Current in July (advance notification) ? Do you also recommend attaching the early filing memo in :

If you print out the actual visa bulletin and mark the numbers for July clearly, you might have a shot getting it accepted in June. How long did it take to get the package back to you?

There is a chance they may return it back to you, but I don't think it's a big deal.

I suggest to everybody to include the barcode lottery letter twice, one for each spouse's application.

I doubt they will return the package to him. He already has his NOA and BiometricS Letter. NOA will not be sent out if the package is not acceptable.

You can give it another shot in June. Attach and highlight the Advance Noticiation section of the VB to your package. Good luck!
