Confusion Over Current Immigration Status on Form I-765
The Problem
Applicants adjusting status from a K-1 visa to a green card often struggle to identify their 'current immigration status' on USCIS forms like the I-765. This ambiguity leads to anxiety about potential form rejection or processing delays due to incorrect data entry.
Solution
Applicants are encouraged to consult the specific form instructions or seek guidance from community forums to determine if they should list their original visa category or their pending adjustment status. Many users share their specific filing experiences to help others navigate the ambiguous fields.
For the question that asks for my “current immigration status or category” in Part 25, I’m not sure whether to select “K-1” or another option.
