Hope everyone's doing great!

 

Got another question here.

I'm currently filling out Form I-485 but the part 2 (Application Type or Filing Category) on pp.3 confuses mo so much.

I ticked Family-based option (admitted to US as a fiance/K-1). I also ticked YES on the question: Are you applying for adjustment based on the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 245 (i)?, as the NOTE below on the page says I f you answered YES, you must have selected a family-based category...

 

My question is: Do I have to print and fill out Supplement A form (it's another form aside from Form i-485) when looking at the form, I don't qualify on the eligibility provided?

I also read the few pages of filing instructions (Supplement A), and I'm not sure whether I need to fill this out or not.

Can you give me any advise based on your experience?

 

Any piece of advise is really helpful.

Thanks in advance.

245(i) would not apply to you.

 

You're reading the instructions backwards. If you answered "Yes" to 245(i), then you must have selected one of those categories as well. It does not not mean if you selected one of those categories then you need to answer "Yes" for 245(i).
