我兩年前在H1期間(485PENDING)從國內收養了我的女兒。 女兒以H4來美國,先為B2簽證。我正準備為女兒以FOLLOW-TO-JOIN方式遞交I485。我有三個問題請教各位:
問題一: I485郵寄地址. 最新的I485 INSTRUCTIONS上有兩類別和我似乎想相關:
類別一: Based on a pending or approved Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker. (Note: You cannot concurrently file form I-485 and form I-140 at a USCIS Lockbox facility at this time. …
地址為: USCIS Phoenix or Dallas Lockbox, based on where you live.
類別二: Spouse or child of an immigrant who has applied for adjustment of status or has been granted Lawful Permanent Residence through a Family Sponsored Visa category that allows derivative status for spouses and children;
地址為: USCIS Chicago Lockbox
PO Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120
我女兒的情況適用那個類別呢?
-適用類別一. Employment based, not family based.
問題二: 審批時間. 就我的情況, 從收到I485到批準大概要多長時間?
-Hard to say.
問題三: 我有必要為女兒申請AP嗎? 我打算年底或春節帶女兒回國探親, 如果I485那時已經能批準的話, 就沒必要申請AP了.
-She had better get the AP and EAD (EAD for SSN application). It is free because all the fee (I-485/AP/EAD/fingerpringting) is included in the fee of $1010.
