Take a look at the pre-prefilled sample I-485, that should help you decide.
 
Last question on the DS260... in the previous travels to the US section, I put my A number, and then previous travel information.

So I departed and returned a hand ful of times, but it will not let me put the current stay. Do I either leave the last arrival out as its not complete, or add it and select the amount of months til today basically? Or doesnt matter?
 
In the current work / education section, putting a work experience and ticking „requires at least 2 years of training“ and the work experience being less than 2 years would not get one disqualified if the relevant education is in the „past education“ section?

You honestly need to stop overthinking / overanalyzing the questions and answer them as applicable to you.

hello everyone

questions about D2-260

I am in USA doing AOS now , if my wife will have interview at home country , it means my AOS is approved and I am a green card holder

so for her DS-260 .....Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. with you?

1, should her answer be NO because I will be already in US and Green card holder ?

2, if it should be NO , I have said yes when I submitted her DS-260 so should I unlock and change it ? is that even possible because my CN is current for October

thank you

You were not a LPR at the time of the DS260 submission though. Anyways, either way, YES or NO, it really wouldn’t matter at the time of her CP interview.
 
Hello. A few questions:
1) In the sample I-485, Part 14 (page 20) - why does the sample exclude filling out 1.a., 1.b., 1.c.? It seems to me these should be completed in every case.
2) On form I-485, Part 14, I need to add additional physical addresses in continuation of Page 5, Part 3. On Part 14, 3.a., what should one enter for the "Item Number" in this case (maybe enter 10.b. or leave it blank?)
3) My passport has information both in Kazakh and English. For example, see image. Do I need to provide a further translation certification for the Kazakh text (even though it's obvious)?

1. these fields should be auto populated from earlier entries in your form and it’s obvious these must be filled in every case.
2. whatever you choose, don’t leave it blank.
3. almost every passport will look like this and as far as I learned here, passports are exempt from translation.

1. Great call out. That was an oversight. Yes, those should be completed, however not in every case though. They can be be left blank if additional information is not provided/applicable for any question.
2. You can leave the Item number blank in this case.
3. Passport is an exemption with document translation requirements.

Would it cause error to use e.g. page 5 part 3 number 5 or 10 for address? I remember when asking the same question I was answered to use my discretion.
 
Hello! First off, I wanna say that it is truly amazing how you've been able to cultivate such a helpful and knowledgeable community here, I have been following this forum for a while and I am amazed every day at the kindness and aid received by inquiring members!

I have a quick question, I'd really appreciate the help!

Namely, if an F1 student applies for the DV lottery and WINS, but leaves the US and goes to their home country for vacation AFTER finding out the DV lottery result, does that pose any issues when renewing an F1 visa OR re-entering the US, provided that the student hasn't filed a DS-260 nor AOS application, and doesn't have the intent of doing so upon returning to the US to continue their studies? Does the DV lottery win need to be disclosed at the F1 application and is that info available to the CO or CBP officer at the POE?
 
For I-485, I understand that since I do not have a middle name, I should leave this blank and not put N/A. Does this also apply to my parents -- they also have no middle names -- put N/A, leave blank, or use my discretion?

Would two filled but unsubmitted DS260 show up for the IO, or have any effect on the I-485?

If the DS260 forms are not submitted, they do not get included in the KCC file that gets forwarded by the KCC to the IO as part of the review and adjudication process.
 
Hello everyone;

I am moving to Boston and I was going to make address change .

My AOS was received on October 9th and they sent me a text .

Is there anything I should worry about ? Will change of address at this stage complicate the process?

Thank you .

1. The embassy will be aware of the DV selection. Renewal or denial of the F1 visa will be at the discretion of the CO. For a renewal that ordinarily might not have required an interview, the CO may decide an interview is required to evaluate the applicant’s immigrant intent.

2. Admission or re-admission into the US is only guaranteed for USC, having a valid visa does not guarantee an admission at the POE. There have been a couple of reports (quite few) in the past of CBP asking about DV lottery selection at the POE.

3. Never volunteer information. You disclose your DV selection only if/when asked, and never.

p.s. number your questions when you have more than one per post.
