I-485 part 2 information about your immigration category

[EricLT 29]

Hi I'm a little confused about part 2 where it asks if you are the principal applicant or  derivative applicant of underlying petition? Do I leave this part blank?

You are the principal applicant.  Enter the receipt number and PD of the I-129F petition.  Do not leave this section blank.

The reason you are eligible to file for AOS is not something you would want to leave blank. You are the principal applicant, underlying petition is the I-129F, and you provide a copy of the approval notice for it, otherwise known around here as the NOA2. You will check the box below that you entered on a K-1. 

 

Check out the example form for the I-485. It's outdated, but you still get the idea. >

In the sample, receipt number and priority date were left blank. I just used the receipt number and received date from i-797 notice of action
