Status While Adjusting from K1 Visa

[K & Z 1]

Hi All,

My wife was helping fill out a tourist visa application for her Mom. My wife came here with a K1 visa in July'12. We applied for her adjustment of status in August with AP & EAD. She has already received AP & EAD. However we are still waiting for the Adjustment of Status.

Now, in the tourist for her application, it asks what is the visa status of the relative (my Wife). It gives the following options:-

US citizen

Legal US Permanent Resident

Non immigrant

Other/I don't know

Well, she not a US Citizen yet and her Permanent Resident Status has not been approved yet. She is kind of on a Immigrant visa, so, "Non Immigrant" doesn't really count. Thus, "Other/I don't know" is the best answer?

Or should I pick "Legal US Permanent Resident" because she is in the process of adjusting?

Appreciate all your thoughts and experience.

Other. She is not yet a permanent resident so you should not say that she is. K-1 is technically a non-immigrant visa, but I believe that she became an immigrant when she filed for AOS. She doesn't have any visa now in any case - her status is "AOS -pending."

**Moved form K1 to AOS from family visas. Question is about status while AOS is pending.

This question is asked frequently. The status is "Applicant for Adjustment" or, more simply, "Adjustment Applicant."
