Mailed I-485 / Married / EAD Expiring / ETC

*Left while in F-1 while married / returned with I-20

Ok, that basically summarizes our situation. I've posted several times in regards to the above the difference now is that we've mailed out the AOS packet. Sooooo, in a nutshell: I'm a US citizen, she's a French ex-pat, she came here in F-1 status for her MBA, we met after her first semester here, fell in love (aww), got married (while in F-1), she returned to France with a signed I-20 for re-entry, came back, applied for EAD via OPT, has been working since March 2012 upon receiving her EAD, EAD expires in Jan, AOS packet mailed today... Concerns: Tax return says "single" whilst we were married (has since been amended for "Married filing jointly" but we haven't received the update yet), and her leaving and returning(we met after she initially got here, and have extensive proof/pics/docs/etc). Can someone please analyze this and tell me to calm down and just be patient :)? Thanks guys!! You're the best!!

NOTE*** the signed I-20 was based upon her returning to finish her studies, graduate, and participate in the OPT program with her EAD

Frankly, I don't see any problem at all. Just take the updated tax return to the interview. This is an Adjustment of Status though, not a CR1 visa case.

That's actually new to me. Everyone in our international advisers said that Master's students who get Masters on F1 cannot get OPT as that is only for students on F1 who are doing doctoral (PhD) degree...interesting...
