DV 2020 AOS Only

Can we contact multiple U.S representatives of our state at the same time regarding our I-485 case? I have heard that some of them are not responsive at all and we may waste our time pinning our hope on getting a response from them? ( I have no idea about representatives of my state and I am just asking this question in general).
And does it matter which political party they belong to, Republican or Democratic?

Your address falls under the jurisdiction of one HOP, not multiple. And frankly speaking, I don’t get why you’ll be exploring that option now. Don’t rush and waste useful resources you may need down the road.
 
Hi mom,
I just noticed that USCIS updated the form I-485. The edition date is still 10/15/19 but the expire date on top is 10/31/2020. But the form I filled if the edition of 10/15/19 with expire date 10/31/2021. DO you think I need to fill the new form or I can submit this since the edition date is same?

Thank you. What about senators? Can I also contact them? I am just asking in case I needed to contact them.
 
Hi Sm1smom,

Just clarification question. Is A-number (alien registration number) same as USCIS number on your EAD card?

To be on the safe side, use whichever form is currently listed on USCIS’s website.
 
Sm1smom,

One more question regarding i-485, part 1 q 23.c - Status on Form i-94 (e.g. class of admission, or paroled). My i-94 says class of admission: F1, but it doesn't allow me to write numbers in the field. What I suppose to write there?

And one more thing, my "Admit Until Date" on i-94 is D/S. Shall I calculate manually the expiration date of authorized stay in part 1, 23.b in i-485?

Thank you in advance!

If you are using Acrobat Reader, then go to Edit-->Preferences-->Javascript, then disable the JAVA script (make sure you save the filled form before disable the JAVA script). Then you should be able to type F1
Also, you should write D/S on 23.b if your I-94 says D/S
 
Hi Mom,

I am currently filling out Form I-944 for myself and my wife. I would be grateful if you could answer my following questions:

-My wife has no income. In Household income, should I write her total income from tax return as 0 or same with me.
-My wife has F2 visa and therefore, has no US credit report. Should we provide a credit agency report for her?

Thanks in advance

For my first question problem is solved. I disabled JavaScript on my acrobat

It worked. Thank you!

Write D/S - you don’t have an admit end date in this case. D/S means duration of stay - you’re admitted for as long as you’re abiding by your admitted visa status requirements.

1. Your question is not clear, is this with regards to your wife’s I-944? If yes, household income includes your income, so write that amount on her I-944.

2. If you’re able to generate one for her, yes. If not possible then you simply can’t provide something you don’t have.
 
I've got a couple of questions regarding i-944.
1) Part 2. Family status (Your Household).
I live in the USA alone. My whole family is overseas. Should I enter their information over here as well? Same question applies for financial status of my household. Should I insert this information or should I just leave it blank or N/A?

2) Part about my assets. Since I am F1 student who has barely any income at this point, I'm trying to make this case as strong as possible. I have a studio in my home country that is put under my name. Should I list it here, under Real Estate Holdings? And if so, what proof should I submit for that?

3) Part about health insurance. I have some health insurance that is dedicated for F1 students. My policy is expiring at the end of this month, but I plan to extend it through the end of the year. What is a correct way of filling this part? I do have a health insurance that is expiring at the end of the month and at the time of submission of this document I will have a new one that is going to be extended through the end of the year. Should I fulfil both question 15. as yes and then also fulfil 15.D. as Yes, I am enrolled and attach a proof of this new policy?

4) Part about my english language proficiency. I have TOEFL test, since I needed it for my graduate studies enrollment. Is that acceptible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

Just want to check if someone has received a letter of biometrics appointment. I want to understand how they'll be dealing with this, whether scheduling and re-scheduling this appointment along the way (to keep queue), or they just waits re-opening date to send appointments for everyone.
In my status it says that National Benefits Center is working on our case.

Thank you.

2. It’s your call if you want to list it or not. Form I-944 instructions has information as to what is considered an acceptable proof of that real estate, please refer to it.

3. Please answer those questions as applicable to you as at the time of sending in your AOS package - use your best judgment on this.

4. Yes.
 
@Sm1smom Thanks for the answer.

I just have one more question. I have been awarded a full tuition scholarship based on my Graduate Assistant position. Should I include that, and where would it be best included?

If you consider it an income, you can list it in Part 3 (6)
 
Update about the CS: Just called to the clinic in Phoenix (AZ). They seem to be working.
I was able to get my appointment for the test scheduled on Wednesday and then after the result is ready (4-5 business days), they will be able to schedule the doctor's appointment next week. They can do all at once at one appointment, but then I will have to wait longer for the results because doctors appointment is only available from the next week.
