Question about Marriage Based I-485 Part 2: What is my application type?
I am an F-1 student on OPT, but currently unemployed (there's a 90 day unemployment time allowed during OPT). My husband is a US citizen and I'm filing I-485 to adjust my status.
I don't fall on any of the situation listed under Part 2 "Application Type" of I-485 form (12/16/08 version). Should I check "h" (other basis of eligibility) then explain it myself?
------------------------------
The application types listed on I-485 are as the followings:
I am applying for an adjustment to permanent resident status because (check one):
a. An immigrant petition giving me immediately available immigrant visa number that has been approved.
b. My spouse or parent applied for adjustment of status or was granted lawful permanent residence in an immigrant visa category that allows derivative status for spouses and children.
c. I entered as a K-1 fiance of a US citizen whom I married within 90 days of entry, or I am the K-2 child of such a fiance.
d. I was granted asylum or derivative asylum status as the spouse or child of a person granted asylum and am eligible for adjustment.
e. I am a native or citizen of Cuba admotted or paroled into the US after January 1, 1959, and thereafter have been physically present in the US for at least one year.
f. I am the husband, wife or minor unmarried child of a Cuban described above in (e), and I am residing with that person, and was admotted or paroled in to the US after January 1, 1959, and thereafter have been physically present in the US for at least one year.
g. I have continuously resided in the US since before January 1, 1972.
h. Other basis of eligibility (for example, I was admitted as a refuge, my status has not been terminated, and I have been physically present in the US for one year after admission)
I am already a permanent resident and am applying to have the date I was granted permanent residence adjusted to the date I originally arrived in the US as a nonimmigrant or parolee, or as of May 2, 1964, whichever date is later, and (check one):
i. I am a native or citizen of Cuba and meet the description in (e) above.
j. I am the husband, wife, or minor unmarried child of a Cuban and meet the description in (f) ablve.
---------------------
Anyone knows which one I should check?
Thanks a lot!
