I-131 Ap

[Berrypan]

Hello,

My spouse is going to file an I-485 and we we're going to file the I-131 at the same time. I'm a US citizen and I was wondering what I should write for "class of admission" on the form. I'm applying for advance parole and my wife is in the US at the moment. I was also wondering what I should put for "Date of Intended Departure" and "Expected Length of Trip?" I want to file this as a general travel document incase my spouse has a death or sickness in the family in her home country while the green card is still pending. Please give any advice you have thank you.

Is your wife on a K-3 visa? If so, does she even need to fill I-131? From the USCIS web site on advance parole:

Most aliens who have pending applications for immigration benefits or for changes in nonimmigrant status need Advance Parole to re-enter the U.S. after traveling abroad. Aliens applying for advance parole on the basis of a pending application for adjustment of status must be approved for advance parole prior to leaving the United States in order to avoid the termination of their pending application for adjustment. Note: this does not apply to aliens who have applied to adjust to permanent resident status and who maintain H-1B (Specialty Worker) or L-1 (Intracompany Transferee) status, or their dependents, who have applied to adjust to permanent resident status and who have valid H-1B or L status and valid visas, V nonimmigrants who have a valid V nonimmigrant visa, are in valid V nonimmigrant status and have or obtain a valid V nonimmigrant visa before applying for readmission to the US, and K-3/4 nonimmigrants who have applied to adjust to permanent resident status and who have a valid K-3/4 nonimmigrant visa, are in valid K-3/4 nonimmigrant status and have or obtain a valid K-3/4 nonimmigrant visa before applying for readmission to the US.
