Sorry, last question. Date of last arrival in the United States.
Last year I went to my country and when I came back to U.S, i stopped in Dublin, irland where there was American immigration. So, I was inspected in Dublinew, and i flew to New York city.
1) do i have to write newe York city, right?
Thank you very much

Go to https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home , select view travel history, enter your data. As a result it will show you your date and place of last arrival to US.
You put Dublin.
You put Dublin.
Hello!! Reading the recents posts, im wondering which should i put as my last city arrival in the USA because my flight had a stop in Aruba and they inspected me there (Venezuela-Aruba-Miami) but i have been using Miami in all my previous documents (Asylum, EAD, etc). I tried to check my Travel history but it says "No record found for traveler." but i can check my I-94. Any recommendation? Thanks in advance.
Along similar lines as above. I had a few questions regarding I-485.
1. Expiration Date of Authorized Stay Shown on Form I-94" (mm/dd/yyyy). Form I-94 says "D/S" since I was then in F1 visa. I cannot enter "D/S" as the field doesn't take non-date values.
2. Staus on Form I-94 (for example, class of admission, or paroled, if paroled). Form I-94 says "F1". I cannot, however, enter "F1" because the field doesn't take numerical values.
3. What is your current immigration status (if it has changed since your arrival)? I arrived as an F1 student. I am currently on TPS. Does TPS count as a valid immigration status? Is "Temporary Protected Status" what I enter for this question?
Thanks

There's an amazing hack I've learned from one of the best experts in cybersecurity and digital data protection. I'm not 100% sure that I'm not disclosing a pending patent, so just in case: you haven't heard it from me... Here it goes:
1. Leave those fields empty.
2. Print the form.
3. Before putting the form in an envelope and sending it to USCIS: take a black pen and fill the missing fields with whatever content you want!
AFAIK this works on all operating systems (Linux, OSX and Windows).
Also there are multiple PDF viewers that totally ignore all the validations and macros, and happily accept any value in those fields, e.g. GNOME Evince.

hahah, thanks.
I just found an even better solution. I am able to use adobe>preferences>javascript>disable javascript to enter the values I want and enable it after entering this.
Just had an outstanding question regarding immigration status:

If you went through pre-clearance in Aruba, then Aruba is considered your first city arrival in the US. Your onward flight from Aruba to Miami is considered a domestic flight. The flight will not be categorized as a domestic flight if preclearance hadn’t taken place.
SouthWest Community Info - admittedly not an official US government site, it’s the most I can easily think of at the moment.

1 and 2. Already answered by @Xarthisius
3. If your current status is TPS, then that’s what you’ll put. Wether it is a “valid” immigration status or not is moot to the question being asked. It’s not like you can put something else there if your status isn’t considered a valid status.

Hello everyone. I was selected for dv 2020. I submitted ds260 and selected AOS. But, as there was mistake In original entry, i came to know that my case will be denied. I do not want to proceed further. But, I am trying to go to my country for a month in vacation next month. I am on f1 visa. Would there be any problems when coming back?
Thank you
Thank you
Assuming you don’t need to be issued with a new NIV, you should be okay returning. If the current visa in your passport has expired and you’ll need to apply for a new NIV, your demonstrated immigrant immigrant intent will be tough to overcome in which case the embassy most likely will not issue you with a new NIV.
Hello,
1}I am one of the selectees for DV 2020 living here in USA, I am planning for AOS. I submitted my DS 260 last week but I made mistake on writing the user name for Social media, sir do you think I need to unlock it and update it?
2. Does KCC sent 2nd letter for the winner who is planning for AOS?
3. When do I have to pay the DS260 fee?
4. Do we need to hire a lawyer for AOS?

1. Not sure what you mean by made mistake - do you mean you made a mistake in providing the information, or that you made a spelling mistake and are wondering if you should correct that spelling mistake?
2. Yes, however AOS 2NL is different from CP 2NL. You need to go through the AOS process spreadsheet.
3. Go through the AOS process spreadsheet which already contains a step by step guidance.
4. It’s a personal choice. Hire a lawyer if you feel you need one. Or you can take your time to understand the process by starting with the AOS process spreadsheet, asking follow up questions on what is not clear after going through the spreadsheet, filling the paperwork on your own and filing the petition yourself.
