Who is the petitioner?

[US2UK 33]

I wanted to clarify, for an i-485 application adjusting from a K1 visa... who is the petitioner? is it the USC spouse or the immigrant?

 

I know with the K1, the USC was the petitioner and the non-US fiance(e) is the beneficiary. Is this the same for the i-485, or is the non-US spouse both the petitioner and the beneficiary?

 

Thanks!

The immigrant is the applicant for the I-485.  The I-485 asks about the applicant.  

I don't recall the I-485 asking about a petitioner.  What part are you referring to where it asks about a petitioner?

She is the applicant... for i485 and EAD forms.. your the petitioner when it comes to affidavit of support and i130

There is no petitioner on the i485.   The USC is an interested bystander
