Hey everyone, I have a little bit of confusion on what evidence I need to submit with my I-485.

 

Under the instructions: What Evidence Must You Submit; Part 7: Evidence of Continuously Maintaining a Lawful Status Since Arrival in the United States.

It states: Include evidence of every time you entered the United States and for the time periods spent in the United States. See Additional Instructions for information on whether your specific immigrant category requires this evidence.

 

Under my additional instructions for my specific immigration category, Person admitted to the United States as a fiance (Form I-129F), it doesn't mention anything about the time periods or evidence of entering.

 

So, I'm a little bit confused here. Am I required to include this evidence?

excerpt from the I-485 instructions:

 

Anyone applying under the following immigrant categories must submit evidence to show they have continuously

maintained lawful immigration status while in the United States and are therefore not barred from adjustment by INA

section 245(c)(2): applicants applying under a family-based preference category or an employment-based preference

category; special immigrant religious workers, Afghan or Iraqi nationals, and international broadcasters; and selectees

under the Diversity Visa Lottery program.

 

You are not from one of those categories if you are adjusting from a K-1. Instead, you are an immediate relative (spouse of US citizen). So, technically, you're not required to include that evidence. You will still include a copy of your I-94, though.
