expert needed for urgent question: out of status and i485 form, marriage with usc

[zz]

hello everyone,

I have an urgent question for filling out the i485 form based on marriage to usc. I was an h1b visa holder, got laid off in july 2003. Now I am ready to file the adjustment of status packet with INS. My question is:

on the i485 form, it asks for your present status and i94 expiration date. Since I am technically out of status, what should I write down here for the status question?

Should I write " H1B expired" or "former H1B status, lost job", "out of status", or "none" or "N/A" ?

thanks a lot,

zz

I suggest you tell the truth and write OOS (Out of Status). How are you applying for a GC? Are you married to a USC?

I was out of status for a few months and I put "Adjusting Status" on my form.... it seemed to go through as I've already done my finger printing and got my work permit.

Good Luck
