Confusion Over I-765 Current Immigration Status
The Problem
Applicants adjusting status from a K-1 visa often struggle to correctly identify their 'current immigration status' on Form I-765. The transition from a K-1 visa to a pending Adjustment of Status (I-485) creates ambiguity in how to accurately report status to USCIS.
Solution
Applicants are encouraged to seek clarification on whether to list their original visa category or their pending status. Many rely on community forums to compare experiences with similar filings to ensure the form is completed without triggering delays.
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.
