 It means that the suggestion that they wait until he is  USC is not something that will happen in the near future.  

Again we dont know. It can be  either or. Unless the OP clarifies how the husband is getting his citizenship we are speculating.

I would really like to see how this case unfolds.   Sorry @Roel, I believe where you quoted USCIS is a misquote, since it is a general page, an specific details can not be assumed. For examp

Thank you for sharing your experience!!! Good to hear that there’s a successful case. 

 

Did the IO ask your status after filing I-485? Did you present any rules/regulations from the USCIS website to prove that it’s fine to hold no status after filing I-485 (had legal status on the date of filing, of course)? just in case IO  not familiar with it. 

 

Thank you!

I remember USCIS sent a request for more evidence. The request was to prove that my spouse was a US citizen, we replied to this request stating that my spouse was not a US citizen and that I am eligible to file i-485 based on my PD being current and a marriage to a LPR, we printed a page from USCIS website (visa bulletin) and highlighted my category which showed my PD as current. that all we did.

Hi guys,

 

Shame it sometimes gets so ugly, even with personal attacks. I am not the OP, but I was in a similar situation. I was F2A (spouse of a LPR), and applied to AOS on March 2018 with a pending I-130.

 

The instructions are very clear and specific, and the USCIS manual are also, so we took our chance. OP did not share their experience, but I am sharing ours. 

 

When we applied for AOS, my visa would had expired after 2 months. But I knew I was under "Authorized stay status", which means I was maintaining a legal status in the country. I received an Employment Authorization document and Advanced Parole on August last year, as well as a SSN and Driver's License. And I was approved last week, and received the 10-year permanent residency card in the mail today.

 

The IO did not ask about my status after AOS, she asked about the visa, when I got it and why (I guess to make sure I did not apply for the visa with a second intention).

 

I hope this answers the question for any other person in this thread, and please, if you don't know, say so and don't go attacking people online and claiming they are misquoting things. ^^

 

Happy Labor Day in advance!
