I'm not sure that I understand your question. Assuming that you are otherwise eligible for Adjustment of Status, you can file the I-130 followed by the I-485, or you can file the I-130 and I-485 concurrently. You cannot file the I-485 by itself unless you have already filed the I-130 alone and have the receipt notice in hand. You might want to review the I-485 application instructions, which include a list of documents that should accompany the application. Good luck!

You must file the I-130 petition for immigration status based on your marriage at the same time as your AOS petition.
