Adjustment of Status is filing form i485. i130A is nowhere mentioned in i485 instruction per USCIS. It speaks for itself.

Now you are twisting your question and that’s what happens when you do so, you don’t get clear answers.

 

Anyway, if you are filing i130 for your spouse, i130A is needed. I130 is for petitioning not for adjustment of status. You can send all together if applicable.

when you file an adjustment of status you also file a I-130 concurrently with that for the complete package so that is why I worded my question the way I did.  Also you don't have to be rude in your comments.

 

Can someone else give me the proper input.  Thank you.

Already did.  You didn't bother to give the relevant facts and based on your timeline it is not clear what you are really doing.  A concurrent filing is the I-130 package and the AOS package.   The AOS package is preceded by the I-130, not the other way around.

Yes, if you are filing an I-130 and the beneficiary is your spouse.
