A2 status adjustment to Greencard due to marriage

[a2visa]

Hello everyone,

I recently got married to an American citizen and am now trying to figure out how to apply for a green card. The last couple of days I have been doing research and filling out documents but I still have a couple of questions.

I hope someone has experience with these matters and can help!

Documents I am filling out:

I-508 - Waiver of Rights and Privileges
I-566 - Change or adjustments of status from A,G, etc
I-130 - Petition for Alien Relative
I-485 - Application to register permanent status

Questions:

1. Can you please confirm that I need to fill out the I-566? If so who is the the " principal alien "? When you look at the document the first part I need to fill out, then the principal alien, asking the same questions.

2. Do I have an alien registration number? If so where can I find it? My A2 visa number is longer then 9 digits.

3. What is a PID / Dos personal number? Does the embassy have this number?

4. Please correct me if I am wrong but my current USCIS status is A2 visa holder correct?

5. Do I hand in all of these documents at once? USCIS states that the I-130 and I-485 do, but no mention of I-508 or I-566.


I hope someone can help.....

Best,

A2

A2,

How did you enter the U.S., with what kind of visa?

When does your visa expire or your I-94 expire?

The information you provided seems somewhat disjointed, so need some basic information about your status before giving you and suggestions.

Ray B,

Entered with an A2 and it expires in 2017.

I was issued the visa in 2012 and have since travelled back and forth to Europe... the forms ask me to fill in my I-94 number but which one do I fill in? If any?

Thanks.

Use the information from your last entry, if reflected on an I-94, whether in your passport or downloadable.

The I-508 seems to apply to you, but the I-566 may not be needed.

This is the first time I've looked at your type of status, so I apologize for not being more helpful.

But you'll also need G-325A for both you and spouse, I-765, I-131 and I-864, all with supporting documents.

Usually, the most recently-issued I-94 info would be used.
