Terms

I am proofreading before submission of a I-130 concurrent I-485 (AOS from a B2 while in the U.S.). I used beneficiary/petitioner on the 130 packet and switched to applicant/petitioner on the I-485 packet. Is that correct? Should I be something other than the petitioner and if so, what?

 

Thanks!

The USC is the petitioner for I-130 and the spouse of USC is the beneficiary. For I-485, the spouse of USC is the applicant (applying for a green card based on I-130 petition approval).

The USC spouse is nothing on the AOS except the sponsor for the I-864. The foreign spouse is the applicant and petitioner there.

But I’m only a sponsor because I’m the spouse. There’s a joint sponsor for the financial support so I’m thinking I’m something (wording for cover letter) but I guess just US Citizen spouse sponsor?

For AOS, the foreign spouse is just the "applicant." I-485 is an application.
