We are totally confused on the I-485. Is the Information about you, supposed to be about me ( the US citizen) or about him (the foreign spouse)

Also on part 2, none of the answers seem to fit on why we are applying for adjustment of status. He came here on a visa waiver, we eloped, is the answer B? My spouse applied for Adjustment of status?? Or is it other basis of eligibility??

From the time we submitted our forms till AOS approval (112 days).

Yes, Box A, and you, the US citizen, needs to fill out a I-130 petition for your husband.

Read the USCIS instructions for those forms, it will answer 95% of your basic questions.

Follow your logic, who is adjusting status? Your foreign spouse... So he fill in the I-485.

The I-130 petition is called "Petition for an alien relative", who have an alien relative? You, so you fill in the I-130.

Read the VJ guide, it will help: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2
