Hi,

First thanks for posting such great info on the forum.

My question is: I am a student under an F-1 status and I am married (for less than 2 years) to a U.S. citizen.

I will finish my studies in June and I am wondering whether I should submit my i-765 requesting for OPT or wait until I have all the required documentation for the AOS process and file my i-765 when I file my i-485.

Also, about the i-485 I have a quick question (I hope not a dumb one) of which application type to select on the form. There seems to be no application type that exactly matches my situation.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think that's really a choice only you can make. You can go either way. My own opinion is that if you want to remain in the USA you'll have to file AOS eventually anyway, why not now?

If you think about the fact that you'll also be submitting an I-130 in that packet, which gives you the basis for filing the I-485, the application type becomes more clear.
