Do Not Have Visa Information to fill out Part 3 of I-485

Hello

I am currently filling out I-485 to apply for a green card through marriage to a US Citizen.
I have a question regarding one of the fields in Part 3, Section A about nonimmigrant visa number, date issued, and consulate where it was issued.

Unfortunately I dont have that information as I do NOT have a tangible F-1 visa. I have F-1 visa status (Approval Notice) because I changed status from H-4 to F-1 within in the US.

I recently traveled to Mexico on vacation, while on F-1 visa status, and re-entered the US without having to get a new visa outside the US because travel to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean is exempt for F-1 status holders from having to get a new visa (if they only on visa status) before re-entry.

How would I go about filling out this part of I-485? Would I just write "See Attached Continuation Sheet" and explain my situation?

Just give them info about your H-4.

My H-4 visa expired almost 5 years ago. Ive been on F-1 visa status since then. This mexico trip was my first trip outside the US since initial entry about 10 years ago.

Should I still provide information about my H-4 visa on that field of the form?

Its what you originally entered the US on, so yes.
