  • What's one's legal status after filing for adjustment of status?

    Can someone confirm (with references where possible) that legal status remains intact after submitting the AOS application? Thank you.

    Day 2- Application received
    Day 16 - Check cashed
    Day 19 - Text messages received
    Day 21 - Hard paper I-797C receipts received
    Mar/25 => Application sent to Chicago lockbox
    22 <= 4 I-797Cs received by mail
    57 <= Courtesy letter for I-693 received
    129 <= Bio appointment for Aug/13
    159 <= Interview scheduled for Oct/6
    165 <= New card being produced
    169 <= I765&I131 approved
    196 <= New card being produced
    197 <= Card mailed
    Oct/10 = 2yr GC in hand

    In some case you can maintain your legal immigration status, others will expire.

    AOS doesn't give you a legal immigration status: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/...rt-b-chapter-3 in other words, you don't have a legal status when your B2 authorization expires. You can legally stay in the USA until your AOS is approved.

    Day 1 - Package received at the lockbox
    Day 999 - Card delivered to me - Aug 2021

        A pending application never changes your status. Your status remains the same until it otherwise expires.

        This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.
