Adjustment of status Unmarried son to married son

[ska 0]

Hi friends,

My father and mother (both US citizens) had filed (joint petition) for an I 130 petition in my favor (I was unmarried at that time) at Nebraska service center on the 4th of April 2004. On the 27th of July 2007, a notification was issued stating that my petition has been approved and has been moved to National Visa Center. During Dec 2007 I came to US on H1B visa ( and am still here). I got married Jan 2009 and my wife also is here on H4 visa.

Timeline

4th April 2004 - I 130 filed Nebraska Service center (Unmarried at this time)

27th July 2007 - Received notification stating that petition has been approved

07th Dec 2007 - Came to US on H1B visa

17th Jan 2009 - Got Married

12th Mar 2009 - Wife joined me on H4 2009

I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me with the questions hereunder

1) Now that am married, when and how do I file for the adjustment of status for my I 130 petition (F1 to F3). Is it ok if I just mail NVC or is there a specific format in which I need to submit the application for adjustment of status?

2) To which address should I send the mail?

3) If I file for adjustment of status, will my original application date viz April 2004 hold good, or will it be pushed further down to the date when the adjustment of status is filed?

Thanks in advance

This is a case I'd consult an immigration attorney about.
