Pending permanent resident

[cotnals]

With pending permanent residency (I-485 with AP/SSN/EAD), can I apply for H visa, F visa, or E visa?

My visa has expired and now I am pending permanent resident. I was wondering if I can apply for other visa just in case my I-485 gets denied

Thank you for reading and any advice is appreciated.

I would advise against it. When they find out you have a pending i-485 application, you could be seen to have immigrant intent which would make you ineligible for the F and E visa. I think you would be in the same situation with most H visas, with the exception of the H-1B, which doesn't open until April '21.

US "visas" are solely for entry and you don't need to "enter" if you are already inside the US; thus you cannot get a visa while inside the US. Do you mean you want to change into one of those statuses instead?

Sorry for the misunderstanding, when I turned 21 I was no longer dependent of my parents E visa. Thus, my parents have applied me as F visa just in case if our I-485 gets denied.

Yes, to the previous comment, our attorney has warned us that with I-485 pending there is a high chance F visa will be denied.

However, my parents were wondering if I can change to E visa with change of status F visa pending. One of our attorney said yes and other is saying no.

I was wondering if someone here had any similar experience or advice

Any advice is appreciated. thank you!
