I-485 question

[sannez 0]

I have a question regarding the I-485 form...Under part 2, I'm not quite sure which section we should mark.

My husband is here on a TN visa and I am a USC. We were married in September and are now applying for AOS.

None of the listed options apply, unless we can choose option h (other basis of eligibility) and note that I am a citizen. Is that viable?

Can anyone help with this?

Thank you (in advance)!

You choose choice A for a concurrent I-130/I-485 application. (I was just commenting in a thread next to this how that sentence in choice A is really hard to decipher! lol). Good luck.

Choice A says, with the irrelevant parts omitted, "attach a copy of the approval notice, OR a relative...petition filed with this application that will give you an immediately available visa number, if approved."

You qualify under the latter part of that sentence.

Absolutely correct! Since you're a USC, the visa number wil be immediately available, if the application is approved.

I swear, this is the most frequently asked question (and most confusing part) of the application.

OP: Be sure that you submit both the I-130 and I-485 together in the same envelope/package. That way, your answer A. will be referring to something that is actually there. If the two are separated prior to their arrival at USCIS, then you could be in for a world of difficulty.

Good luck!
