Q: I-485 Principal applicant question
I am filing I-485 as an asylee and I don't have any dependent. I am a solo applicant. In part 2 is asking information about principal applicant (which I think is me) and petition. I don't have any of those information. Should I write anything in those boxes or is it alright if I leave them blank. Am I missing something? Thank you

A:
When filling out the I-485 as an asylee, you are correct in thinking that you are the principal applicant. In Part 2, where it asks for information about the principal applicant, you should enter your own information. If it asks for petition details, you can leave those sections blank, as your application is not based on a family petition or employment petition.
Since you are not filing as a dependent, those fields wouldn't apply to your situation. Just focus on entering the necessary details about yourself as the principal applicant.
If you’re unsure about specific questions, reviewing the instructions for the I-485 form can help clarify what to fill out. It's always a good idea to double-check to avoid any delays in your application process.
