B2 to F1 now filing for AOS / I-130 Part 2 Q14

[urizen 1]

I'm actually writing this one for my brother. He met his fiancé through my now wife. I used VJ to complete my paperwork, thank you very much, and am now trying to help them with theirs.

My brother's fiancé came here to visit the USA on a B2, but later transferred her status to an F1 to go to school. During that time they fell in love and now want to get hitched. I'm almost done with their application but have one question (so far) on the I-130:

So the questions asks:

"If your relative is currently in the U.S., complete the following: He or she arrived as a:"

The simple answer is "Visitor." But a few months into her 6 month holiday, she decided to transfer her B2 to an F1 to go to school. Should this be noted somehow, maybe a supplement, or should we go with the exact answer?

Thank you in advance!

Visitor. I don't think you need to add a supplemental sheet to explain it. In form I-485 there is a question asking current USCIS status of applicant where you enter F1.

Thank you Samhunter! That is what my gut is telling me, but logically it seems it could be an issue.

I don't think so because I know few people who came here on b1/b2 and then switched to student visa so they must have known that its a normal, so when you answer the questions in I-485 and I-130 saying person is entered on visitor and her current USCIS status is F1, they will understand. You can add supplemental sheet but I don't think its necessary.
