US Immigration from Honduras

Hello , my name is Alejandra ayestas , me and my husband applied for the form i130 ( adjustment status ) I came here legally but I ve been waiting for a response for almost 2 years now , now I m trying to apply for the i485 since I found out I could still be working even if it s pending and I guess my question is can I still apply for the i485 even if the i130 it s pending ? My husband is a Us. Citizen if the helps , I just wanna be able to work thank you

My young friend ("Alex") has an approved I-360 Asylum petition. (He turns 13 at the end of 2020.)

We have an I-797 Approval Notice for him.

Alex has a Priority Date of 03/01/2019

Since he is classified as a SIJ (Special Immigrant-Juvenile), he is in the queue for a EB-4 visa.

Further, he is from Honduras, so he is in the EB-4 queue for that country which is not current. The Final Action date for Honduras EB-4 is currently 05/01/2018. (As of Dec 2020)

So... we are unable to submit an I-485 Application for Permanent Residence until the Final Action date for his class and country.

QUESTIONS

1. What is Alex's current legal status? Is he now a legal permanent resident (LPR)? I see in the USCIS Policy Manual, Chapter 7, the following language at the end of the section on Approval:

 "The applicant becomes an LPR as of the date of approval of the adjustment application."

2. Prior to being able to file an I-485, is there any other documentation we should have to prove his status (We have the I-797, but that is all.)

3. Is there any way for him to receive travel permission prior to getting the I-485 and submitting an I-131?

4. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Hello - I am hoping this is the right forum to find help. If not, please direct me to a better forum.

I am helping a family friend with a 12 year-old who has been APPROVED on the I-390 and now has SIJ status. I am confused about what happens next - the paperwork says he is approved to apply for a green card. Do we file the I-485 and wait? Also - is it possible for him to get travel permission while waiting for the I-485 to be processed? Any help on what we should be doing for "next steps" is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I am looking for guidance around the process for the application for a Green Card for an immigrant juvenile. He is 13 years old and was granted an APPROVAL of asylum. The I-797 indicates he is able to apply for legal permanent residence now, but I am uncertain how to proceed.

What is the best forum for discussing the case and how to proceed? Thanks in advance for any guidance.
