Regarding I-485

[Varshitha0798 0]

I am currently on an F-1 OPT visa and recently married to a U.S. citizen. I am preparing to begin the adjustment of status process. In Form I-485, Part 3,

Part 3. Request for Exemption for Intending Immigrant's Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA

I am requesting an exemption from submitting an Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA (Form I-864 or Form I-864EZ) because (select only one):

1.e. None of these exemptions apply to me and I am not required by statute to submit an Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, nor am I required to request an exemption.

1.f. None of these exemptions apply to me and I am not requesting an exemption as I am required to submit an Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA.

how should I respond to the question, which option should I opt for (1.e or 1.f) about eligibility for an exemption? Additionally, is Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) required in my case? I would greatly appreciate any guidance or input.

 

Thank you!

I assume you are not looking for an exemption so choose 1.f and your spouse will need to submit an I864.

 

Good Luck!

I-865 is form to update sponsor's address. How is it relevant?

Of course an affidavit of support is required to adjust status based on marriage. You do not qualify for an exemption.
