  • Need clarification on I-485 "Info about your Immigration Category" section

    Hi,

    To give you a quick background -

    -I'm an Indian currently on an H1B status, and have an approved I-140 and priority date for the GC initiated by my employer.
    -I got married last year and my wife is a US citizen. I'm now applying for my GC through naturalization by marriage (to avoid years of wait). We're filing the I-485 and I-130, 130a concurrently.

    I'm working on my I-485 - On Page 4 Part 2 - 'Information about your Immigration Category', there are two questions involving "Receipt Number of Underlying Petition" and "Priority date from Underlying Petition".

    Are these details I pick from my employer initiated GC process => should I be entering the receipt number from my employer-initiated-GC--I-797 and the priority date as the date of my employer-initiated-GC--PERM approval?
    Or
    Are these to be left blank (since I'm filing everything concurrently and have no receipts yet in my family-based-GC process)?


    Many thanks.

    Leave blank. This is a totally different petition.

      Leave it blank. Since you're doing it through marriage focus on the application as such and not having anything to do with your i140.
