Dumb Question on F1 AOS 'Application Type'

[HarHarJarJar 0]

Ok... dumb question. I'm just married and I and the wife are filling out her AOS documents. On the I-485 it asks for 'Application type' and to check one of several options. I know sometimes things aren't as plain as they appear so I figured someone could tell me which one of the many options to pick. These two made the most sense: I am applying for an adjustment to permanent immigrant status because: 1) an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been approved or 2) Other basis of eligibility_________. Option 1 is only for K visa holders mostly right or I don't know? Or do I select 'Other basis' and list the F1 visa there? I know this is important to get right. The other several options seemed fairly clearly not to apply. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can get this packet completed this weekend!!!

if you have filed or will file an I-130 petition with the I-485, then it is #1 as the I-130 petition will determine eligibility for an immediately available visa number

No select other option and state F1 visa.

Number 1 is for AOB from an immigration visa (k visa), you are here on a F1 visa which is not an immigration visa....so 1 is not an option for u.

an F-1 by itself is NOT eligible to adjust... putting "Other" with F-1 will result in a denial. #1 is the only option and the I-485 MUST be accompanied by an I-130

Thanks for the feedback and quick responses! I read the I-130 and it seems to make sense. So... option #1 then? Are we pretty sure? I don't want a denial!

I am not a lawyer.

Your F-1 is non-immigrant. An immigrant petition is what you are filing for so a. with I-130 sounds right.

Payxibka is right.
