Adjusting status concerns

[tklay249]

I am adjusting my status from DACA to permanent resident. My wife and I are ready to submit our paperwork. However, I am a little nervous.

A copy of the passport used to enter the country will be submitted. Since I entered as a minor, the passport includes pages with my mother’s and brother’s information. Is there any risk submitting this passport?

My birth certificate will be translated because it is in Korean. The Korean government’s site has a template of the birth certificate in English. To complete the translation, the translator simply has to fill in my name, DOB, address, parents’ names, etc. Is filling in the template acceptable? Also, should the attestation be written on a separate sheet or handwritten on the actual translated document?

Your passport is necessary proof to establish you entered legally. If you omit you will be sent an RFE for further evidence. Your passport will have your I-94 stamped from the CBP and this will be requested in your I-485 application.
