I would say B2 since that is how you arrived

Are you applying on the basis of a marriage to a USC? If so it is "A". But that also assumes your USC spouse is submitting an I-130 petition along with your I-485

Yes I arrived as visitor but my visitor status expired that is why I am not sure.

I got married to a US citizen, but I don't understand the option A? It says: a: an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa numer has been approved... I don't have a visa number...???

That is why your USC spouse needs to submit an I-130 petition.... the approval of which provides for an immeduiate visa number (even though you won't get a visa) ..... without it your application will fail....

Ok, but the text says: An immigrant petition...has been approved

Does it mean my husban has to send the I 130 alone, wait for approval and then I send my I485?

No, it can be filed concurrently, but no action can be taken on the I-485 until the I-130 has been approved.... At which time option "A" is the proper basis for the application.

Just to make sure I understood everything ( because I suck at paper work lol)

I send my I-485, the I-130, I-131, G-325 ( one for each) and I-765 all together with the documents and money. Then the immigration first look into the I-130, and only once approved look into the rest? ( do they send me a letter to say the I 130 is approved?)

I-130 (w/ G-325a for each) include a separate check for filing fee

I-485 (w/ G-325s for alien, I-864 from USC) include a separate check for filing fee

I-765 fee included above

I-131 (even if approved, I would not leave the USA until greencard, because you have an overstay and your entry can still be denied) fee included above

The I-130 and I-485 will all be adjudicated together....

OK, thank you SO MUCH for all your informations

Checkbox "A" seems so counter intuitive, but that IS the right answer.

I-485 (w/ G-325s for alien, I-864 from USC) include a separate check for filing fee

plus medical I-693

Do you get the I-693 directly from the civil surgeon when you go see one for the visit?

Yes, they prepare and will give to you in a sealed envelope to include with your applicaiton

You can bring your own or will get one at the clinic. Good luck

I meant the form itself. The rest - read fwaquy
