Hello Gurus,

Please help me with these I-485 questions

1. In "Part 1" of the form 485, it asks for A# (if any) --- An A# was assigned to me on my EAD card that i got when I was on F1 visa and applied for OPT( Optional practical training). Should I mention this A# in this section here or leave it blank?

2. In the same section next to (Current USCIS status) it says "Expires on (mm/dd/yyyy)":---- Would this be the date as mentioned on my I-94 attached to my H1 approval notice or the "'D/S"(Duration of stay) which was mentioned on F1 when i last enterd the country..?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply..

Quick clarification: By latest one you mean date of expiry on H1b approval notice (this would be my current stutus) rather than F1 stamped in passport when i last entered in US.

I think it's self-explanatory - your current status is H1 (attach a copy of your latest H1 approval notice), and it expires on MM/DD/YYYY (whenever your H1 status expires).

Now, in Part 3 they'll ask you "In what status did you last enter?", "Nonimmigrant Visa Number", etc. That's where you'd mention your F1 information.

Hope this helps!
 
Thanks for the full information, infact seeing this question in part 3 raised a doubt in mind for what to fill in here !
