yes, i believe you would need to adjust his status and that's it, but would still need to file the cr-1.

If husband entered the US with a B2 and the intention to file for AOS to LPR, that's, strictly viewed, visa fraud.

In practice, however, we learned that even that won't matter at AOS and even if it were to come up at the interview, all that's needed is to state (truthfully, of course), that staying wasn't the original plan.

Knowing the aforementioned, I would file for AOS from the US using forms I-131, I-485, and I-765 (a freebee) concurrently.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

If he entered the U.S. on the B-2 with the prior intention of staying and adjusting his status, that's committing visa fraud. In that case, it would be best to file for a CR1 and have him return to his country after his B2 expires.

If your plans changed midway, go ahead and file for AOS.
