i-485 or i-539

[MDaffron 2]

Hello VJ and thank you stopping by!

My name is Melissa, the Canadian beneficiary and Sam the USC petitioner and we're staring a mound of paper work! Not to worry we have most of it done.

We've been together since 2009, visiting regularly back and forth. My visit to him in October ended with us having a surprise wedding on Halloween. I'm currently in the united state with my husband trying to file for the CR1. I didn't enter on a fiancée visa, I drove over the border for a visit and ended up getting married.

We have the following forms completed.

I130

I325a- one for him and one for me.
I485 -aside from part2.

I539

I864 - one joint sponsor and the petitioner

I639 - completed and sealed by the civil surgeon.

What I am a confused about is this.

On the step by step guide for a spouse inside the USA, it says to file for the i485, but for part 2 I cannot find a section that I fit in. I didn't enter or marry on a k1. There is an other section, but I'm not sure as to what I would put. The i539 seems more fitting for my situation, but this package calls for an i485. I should also add, that I dont have an i94 and I would like to remain in America while the process goes through.

Here's the link to the guide. http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

We're not really sure what to do, I'm willing to answer any question. More than willing to receive any answers. Thank you.

I-539 is only if you wish to extend your stay or change to another nonimmigrant status. You wish to immigrate thus the I-539 is not relevant.

thank you for replying, I appreciate it.

For part 2 on the i485 what would I check off. There are eight choices. Any thoughts?

You are filing for adjustment of status, not a CR-1.

Part 2 is A.

Part 2 is A.

Thank you, the "approval notice" is the brackets confused me, I now understand.

You are not doing the CR1, you are adjusting your status.

I'll ask a mod to move your questions to the appropriate forum.

~~Moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas , from IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures~~

You are not doing the CR1, you are adjusting your status.

well, I am doing the cr1 but I have to file the petition packets. I font quite follow the whole process yet.

Sorry for posting in the wrong area.

[NikLR 13,227]

No you're not doing the CR1. CR1 means you are doing consular processing outside of the country. And it's not a big deal, i got the mods to move it so you'll get the most help for what process you're doing.

You are doing "Adjustment of Status." It means you are adjusting from tourist status, in your case, to that of Permanent Resident, from within the US. You will never get a CR-1 visa or any visa. You will go straight to Permanent Resident.
