Do I select "Spouse" or "Person admitted as fiancé" when both are true?

[AmericanGirltoBe 1]

In Part 2, item 3.a. of the i-485 form I am filling out, the instructions are very clear to "select ONLY ONE" of the categories under which I am applying.

 

I entered the US on my K1 visa as the fiancé of the i-129F petitioner. We then married within the 90 days.

 

So, I don't know if the form expects me to select my ONE category of the i-485 to be "Spouse of a U.S. Citizen" or "Person admitted to the United States as a fiancé(e) or child of a fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen (K-1/K-2 Nonimmigrant)". Both are true and both the fact that I was admitted as a K1 nonimmigrant but am now a spouse of a US citizen are important to my application.

 

I'd be especially interested to hear from people who filed their i-485 as K1 entrants, got married, and then picked one of these and had a successfully accepted i-485.

 

Thank you

You were admitted as this.  AFTER entry, you became a spouse.

Definitely pick fiance. Otherwise USCIS will expect an I-130

Choose fiance

Already answered (definitely fiancé), but just to point out why it is clear that you are to select fiancé. Section 2 is labeled "Application Type or Filing Category", so these questions are to assign your application a "category", it is not  a biographical or background section (unlike Parts 1, 4,5,6, etc.). I mean it is possible, background-wise, to be multiple of the options under Part 2, item 3.a. I mean you could be a spouse, former fiancé, parent, child, sibling, widow, etc. of US citizen's all at once. But since the Part 2 isn't asking your history/background instead it is assigning your current application a category, and since you know IR1/CR1's is a completely different category than K-1 -- "entered as fiancé" is the only option.  

 

Not trying to beat a dead horse, but just trying to make sure it is clear how you or anyone needs to think about these applications and their questions.

I am going to beat a dead horse here because getting this wrong caused USCIS to reject several VJ members applications earlier this year. You will pick the fiancée option because if you pick spouse, as @Noname93 mentioned above, they will be looking for an I-130 either concurrently filed or a NOA1 from an I-130 and when they do not see either of those they will reject your packet. Good luck!
