DV 2021 AOS Only

Youn said:
Hello Mom,

1. For question 16 "Travel document number used at last arrival" in Form I-485 should I write passport? I have already put the passport number and its expiration date in questions 15 and 17, respectively.
2. I am a graduate student and my school offers a TA position every Spring and Fall. My current semester ends in May and I will get my Fall TA offer letter in July/August. Should I just list what I have on the offer letter or I can list the end date as present?
3. I am a reviewer for academic journals in my field of study. Should I answer question 1, Part 8, form I-485 "Have you ever been a member of association, organization,..." yes?
4. I have filed my taxes for 2018, 2019, and 2020. For some reason my 2019 and 2020 tax is still under process. Should I just include the 2018 tax transcript or I Also add the tax return file for 2019 and 2020?
5. What should be the answer to Questions 61 and 62, Form I-485, page 13 if a kid receives Medicaid or a pregnant woman received Medicaid during her pregnancy?
6. My case number is current in May and my package is ready to go. Would it be a wise decision to wait for the first day of the month or take the risk and submit April 20 (does it worth the risk)?

Thank you very much for your time.

1. Write N/A - that question is not applicable to you if you’ve already provided passport information in the previous question.
2. Please use your discretion on this.
3. If you’re a member of the association whose journals you review, then you answer YES.
4. You can include the tax return documents if you like or wait until you get your tax transcripts and take those to your interview.
5. Those are public assistance non medical emergency treatment, right?, you should be able to figure out the applicable answer to those questions.
6. That’s a call for you to make on your own.

3. I am not a member of any association/organization. Just received an email request from a journal stating that if I want to review a paper and I agreed and reviewed a couple of papers this way.
4. Yes, those are non-medical emergency treatments. My answer for question 61 will be No but I am not sure how will answering Yes to question 60 for my dependents affect our case. Can I have your thoughts on it, please?
 
Hi,
I’m asking this just to make sure we’re filing the right form:
I’m applying to AOS as a DV selectee by myself. My extended relative who holds a permanent residency is going to file Affidavit of Support for me. Since I’m not applying as a family-based application the one that he is supposed to file is I-134, and not I-864, right?
Thank you so much!

1. So you’re not a member.
2. How can 61 be “NO” - those are public assistance from government, you did not pay for them. Same as 62, if you intend to keep applying for them in the future, you’ll have to also answer YES. My thoughts on how they may impact your application are irrelevant. You’ll just have to declare if you intend to keep using them or not.

2. By answering No I was trying to say that my dependent's intention is to stop receiving benefits in the future. Also, the 1999 Public Charge guide states that the Medicaid and children's Health insurance and health services may not be considered as Public Charge. Am I correct?

B. Benefits That May Not Be Considered for Public Charge Purposes: Non-cash benefits (other than institutionalization for long-term care)
should not be taken into account in making public charge determinations, nor should special-purpose cash assistance that is not intended for income maintenance. Therefore, past, current, or future receipt of these benefits should not be considered in deterining whether an alien is or is likely to become a public charge. Further, an alien need not repay benefits already received or withdraw form a benefit program in order to
be eligible for admission or adjustment of status. It is not possible to list all the supplemental non-cash benefits or specialpurpose cash benefits that an alien may receive that should not be considered for public charge purposes, but common examples include: 1. Medicaid and other health insurance and health services (including public assistance for immunizations and for testing and treatment of symptoms of communicable diseases; use of health clinics, short-term rehabilitation services, and emergency medical services) other than support for longterm institutional care,19
2. Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP); 3. Nutrition programs, including Food Stamps, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program, and other supplementary and emergency food assistance programs;

Answering questions on a uscis form requires you to be truthful. There are serious consequences for lying to gain, or attempting to gain, an immigrant benefit - this is considered fraudulent misrepresentation and can carry a permanent ban from the US. If the answer to a question is “yes”, you write yes regardless whether or not you think it will have an effect on the case.

I am sorry, it was a typo (I wrote the numbers 60 and 61 instead of 61 and 62, respectively). I meant my answer to question 62 will be No because I want to stop my dependents from receiving any benefits in the future.
Obviously, the answer for question 61 should be Yes if any benefits received by an alien (No need for fraudulent misrepresentation).
 
I just received my tax transcripts but they are double sided. Can I submit them as are or should I make single-sided copies for the the package? TIA
 
1. Should I put N/A here because of the "No Blank Policy"?

I forgot that you can disable JavaScript. Thanks mom!

Ain't gonna lie.. I'm feeling nervous that USCIS will scan these "N/As" as my actual bio data. Recently, in one of your previous replies, you mentioned that some applicants had N/A printed on their green card as middle name.

You’re comparing apples and oranges. Listing N/A under other names section tells USCIS you have not used any other names. Not the same as asking someone to not list N/A as middle name which is telling a different story. Names listed in “other names” section do not get listed on the GC FYI. But you can leave the other names section blank if you like and let USCIS wonder if you missed/skipped that section on purpose.

Makes sense
 
Is there a way to write N/A here? It's on read only even after I disabled JavaScript. Adobe is not letting me edit/add text.
