A few simple I-485 questions

So I'm back with a couple more questions, this time regarding the main I-485 form. Hopefully they are very simple questions, however, just want to double check some!

First and foremost. Im filling the form electronically as with everything else. However, unlike all the other forms, this one, when I for instance, put 'NONE' in the US social security box, instead it erases that 'NONE' and puts a bunch of Zeros. Is there anyway to stop this happening so I can keep some consistency across all the forms? or should I keep the Zeros? I should I keep it blank and write 'None' in there after?

Second, under part 1, where I am asked for 'Current USCIS Status'. What should I put here. Although I came on a VWP, I have since over stayed whilst filling out all this paperwork, so Im not sure what I am considered now! And the follow on, 'expires on' what do I put here, based on the previous question?

Next part 2: 'I am applying for an adjustment to permanent resident status because:' Out of the answers, A-H, none seem to really have the reason 'because I married my now wife, who is an american citizen' So what am I ticking here?

Next: Part 3: 'Give your name exactly as it appears on your Form I-94, Arrival Departure Record' - I never got an I-94 on my Visa Wavier, so what should I put here? Also there is a box asking the consulate where my visa was issued, and the date it was issued. What do I put here for my Visa Wavier, as it wasn't issues by a consulate??

And finally, my signature. Does my signature have to fit into that tiny little box. I sign my name ith a bait first letter, and the rest small squiggles. It I were to make it fit it, the smaller parts wouldn't be legible? Or can I go out of the box?

Thanks again guys for all your help. wouldn't be able to do it all without you guys!!

1. Zeros are fine, or you hand-write in. Whatever you want.

2. VWP

3. Choice A.

4. N/A

5. Doesn't matter. I will venture a guess that 99% of people go outside the box.

Thanks for that info!

For 2: Do I put the expiration date as the 90 day mark from my VWP?

And for 3: Do you happen to know what makes it A? As Im reading it, and for some reason, I just can't seem to make sense of it!

Yeah, I'd put the 90 day date.

As for A, read and ignore the stuff in the middle. It's a poorly written sentence, for sure. It's something like 'an immigrant petition attached, which if approved, will create an immediately available visa number.'
