In part 2 of the 485 form, it wants you to check a box describing your eligibility for why you are applying. My husband came here on an F-1 visa and I am filling out the I-130 for him. The first box on the 485 says something like "an immgrant visa number has been made for me upon approval of an immigrant petition " - I am filling out the petition, but it hasn't been approved yet, and none of the other boxes fit the description. Do I go with "Other" and just put that the I-130 has been filed and is pending approval?

Also, I am sending the I-130 & G-325As seperately, which means they will go to 2 different offices. Does anyone have an either good or bad experience with sending them seperately, or is it better to send everything to Chicago?

Thanks a lot for all of your help.

Hello.

In part 2 of form I-485, check A.

Since your husband is applying for his greencard through marriage, you can submit forms I-130 and I-485 together.

I wouldn't send forms I-130 and G-325A seperately; send everything together to the Chicago Lockbox.

As you can see from my signature, I'm adjusting from F1 myself. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good Luck!

Yes Check "A" because as soon as the I-130 is approved, an immigrant visa number is immediately available because a US Citizen petitioning for a spouse gets unlimited visa class.

Send everything in one envelope to Chicago PO box, the G-325A are supporting forms for the I-130 and I-485 and need to be included with them, not separate.

There is a guide on this site that gives step by step for your case.
