I have my father  who came here as a visitor,, this is his second visit. It happens that I have became a US citizen during his visit. Because I was worry that he will go back home during the epidemic. I decided to apply for him to stay in the U.S.

His visa expires 04/30/2020

I  submitted I 130 on March before his visa expired(Still pending).

Now Im applying for his I-485 along with I765.

The question what should I say for the question " Are you applying for adjustment based on the immigration and nationality act(INA) Section 245(I)?"

You would know if you were applying under 245(i). haha It's not something most people qualify for nowadays.
