Hello Mom!
Do you know if there are new editions of the I-134 and the I-693 that 2023 AOSers should use ??
I remember you giving us an update about the new edition of the I-485 but not for the I-134 and I-693.

Here’s your true source for ensuring you’re using the most current version of any form being submitted (more reliable than any update I may or may not provide in the forum):

Great, just checked. There is a new edition for the I-693. For the I-134, the edition is the 04/25/22 that expires on 10/31/2022. I wonder if they will releases a new edition for the I-134 form that 2023 AOSers will use, probably.

Not necessarily. I believe after expiration date of one I-693 version they did not release a new version for a while and people had to use the same old version with passed expiration date until USCIS released a new version.
 
Hello, at this part of the I-134 form, since the beneficiary (the AOSers) is already in the US, what « from » date the beneficiary is supposed to type in??
Should it be the date the beneficiary entered the US or should it be the date the beneficiary fill out the form ? 8213EFA5-0817-4F86-AD8B-33516F8A3EBC.jpeg

I would say both would be fine, because it is ok to fill the date of the start of your new status, but since we don't know that in an AOS application, the date of filling should be fine.

My recommendation is for your sponsor to use the first day of the month of when your CN becomes current since that is when you become eligible to file for AOS. For someone who is already in the US in another status, the date of entry to the US wouldn't be appropriate since the sponsor is not submitting the form in support of that current status but in support of the AOS filing.

So will that mean to get the I-134 after the CN is current, but would that not significantly delay the submission process ?

Also would like to confirm just filling out the I-134 along with sponsors W2's and pay slips would be sufficient or does it need to filled online by paying 200$ fee ?

1. I don't see how listing the first date of the CN current month could lead to a significant delay of the submission process. This is not to be confused with the date the form gets signed. The anticipated period of start date can be sometime in the future, ahead of date the form gets filled out or signed.
2. There's no filing fee associated with the I-134 which you will be submitting with your AOS package, you do not file the form online.
 
Hello I have a question about the fee payment. I will do a money order with the amount and the instructions dont say whats the name of recepient, they only gave me the address do I just put Department of State as a name?
 
Hello Mom!
I am an F1 student and on-campus student employee, I actually work at my college’s international program as an international peer mentor.

At the Employment History section in the I-485, it’s asking first for Name of Employer or Company; should I put « international program » or should I just put my College name ?

Also at the part asking for « your occupation » in the same employment history section; should I precisely list my position as « international peer mentor » or should I just say « On campus student employee/worker » for them to understand that I legally work on campus as an F1 student ?

1. Write your employer's name as stated in your W2. 2. You can write the title of your job.

Thanks for the clarity about it. Correct me if I am wrong in my example :
CN becomes current in Feb
1. get the I-134 and medical certificate by December end or early Jan
2. send the AOS package by around 20th January

Will the early filling goes like above (with start date set earlier ?)

You need to be specific. Which fee payment are you asking about, the DV Administrative Fee or the AOS Filing Fee? Or state the amount you’re trying to pay in order for us to know which fee payment it is you need clarification on.

If the VB indicates your CN will become current in February, and your AOS package is received anytime before February 1st, that is considered as early filing.
 
other than early filling, is my example for the schedules correct ?
As long as the medical report is signed by the Civil Surgeon within 60 days of when the AOS package gets accepted by the Lockbox, that is what matters. Other than that, please use your own discretion as to when to get the medical exam completed or when to fill out the I-134.
