How do I open Photoshop projects in Illustrator using Applescript?

I’m trying to write a script that takes multiple projects I have edited in photoshop and opens them in Illustrator, makes some changes, saves it a bunch of different ways, and then closes the project and opens the next one. I have everything working except opening the photoshop files in Illustrator. All the projects will be located in the same folder so I tried setting all those files to a list using the finder and then in illustrator opening the file. Here is the code:

tell application "Finder"
    set theFiles to files of folder POSIX file "/Volumes/Assets/BLG.com Images/Images for Renaming/Photoshop Files" as list
end tell
repeat with f in theFiles
    tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
        activate
        open f with options {class:Photoshop options, preserve hidden layers:true, preserve layers:true} without dialogs
        set allLayers to layers of document 1
        set allImages to page items of document 1
        repeat with lay in allLayers
            set visible of lay to true
        end repeat
        repeat with img in allImages
            set scaleMatrix to get scale matrix horizontal scale 416 vertical scale 416
            transform img using scaleMatrix
        end repeat
        selectobjectsonactiveartboard document 1
        delay 2
        do script "Fit Artboard to Selected" from "Fit Artboard"
        set visible of layer 2 of document 1 to false
        set visible of layer 4 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Raw Copper Save" from "RC"
        set visible of layer 5 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Architectural Copper Save" from "AR"
        set visible of layer 6 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Satin Antique Save" from "SA"
        set visible of layer 7 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Brushed Nickel Save" from "BN"
        set visible of layer 8 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Polished Nickel Save" from "PN"
        set visible of layer 10 of document 1 to false
        set visible of layer 9 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Antique Copper Save" from "AC"
        set visible of layer 11 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Verdigris Patina Save" from "VG"
        set visible of layer 12 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Satin Verdigris Patina Save" from "SV"
        set visible of layer 13 of document 1 to false
        set visible of layer 2 of document 1 to true
        delay 2
        do script "Black Save" from "BK"
        set visible of layer 14 of document 1 to false
        set visible of layer 2 of document 1 to false
        set visible of layer 15 of document 1 to false
        delay 2
        do script "Default Save" from "Default"
        delay 2
        save document 1 in "/Volumes/Assets/BLG.com Images/Images for Renaming/Illustrator Files" as Illustrator
        delay 2
        close document 1
    end tell
end repeat

Currently this code opens the file in photoshop and not in Illustrator which really confuses me since I’m telling the Illustrator application to open it, not the finder. Any insight here would be much appreciated. Been banging my head against my desk trying to figure this one out.
