My fiance' entered the US on the K1 Fiance visa. We legally married a few days ago. The VJ guides are great, but I am confused as to which one to follow. Should we follow the I-130 Petition and Adjustment of Status Guide under "US Citizen and Spouse both live/reside in the US"? OR Should we follow the Adjustment of Status Guide (K1 & K3 Visa Holders)under "Work, Travel and Becoming a Permanent Resident"?

It seems to me that the "Work, Travel and Becoming a Permanent Resident" I-485 would cover everything we need, but the VJ guide says the I-130 is for if you are married.

Help is most appreciated!

You entered as a K1. Try looking at the example forms. They might help. http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-485.pdf

To see the other examples, look at the menu bar (lighter blue one) and click on Example Forms and scroll down to the AOS ones.
