Petitioner = USC

Beneficiary/Applicant = Immigrant

She is requesting it for herself. So she's the one who need to fill out form I-485, i-765 and I-131. Petitioner needs to fill out form I-864. To make sure everything is correct, you might want to help her in filing out the forms too.

Both comments here are either wrong or misleading. There is no "beneficiary" and no "petitioner" in the AOS part of the process, that was only for the K1. For the AOS part it's APPLICANT (i.e. immigrant) and SPONSOR (USC spouse in most cases).

If you're referring to guides here on VJ, then yes, they're using the K1s "petitioner" (USC who PETITIONED the immigrant) and "beneficiary" (who BENEFITS from the petition).

The USC spouse is irrelevant to the AOS process in terms of completing the paperwork, except to provide their sponsorship documents (I-864), attend interview (if there is one) and other proof of co-mingling. They're the sponsor and without them the petitioner (immigrant) will not get a GC.
