Hi there, came across a few questions re: I-485.

 

For context, I'm going through a marriage-based, AOS. I came to the U.S. on an F-1 visa, stayed after graduation on an OPT. My last port of entry (snippet of my current I-94 below) was while I was on F-1 OPT status. Between then and now, I've changed my status to a TN (because my current employer was not e-verify). I have not left the U.S. since.

Now comes to my predicament on the I-485 app. from the screenshot below, I have the following questions regarding the parts. NOTE: I'm taking the text "When I last arrived in the United States" at face value and quite literally.

 

25.a.: since when I last entered the U.S., I was on F1-OPT I can see the argument for either "temporary worker" or "student". Leaning towards temporary worker.

26.b. Here, I'm confused. My I-94 stated D/S, but my TN has an expiry date in 2024. Should I leave it blank and write in "D/S" or enter the expiry per my TN visa?

26.c. Given it's asking for my class of admission per my I-94, I'm inclined to write "F-1"

27 Here I'll obviously type in TN-1

Student, you entered on F1 visa (OPT is not a visa or a status). OPT is not a temporary worker status.

It is from the last arrival so D/S.
