Having a pending or approved petition does not mean they intended to file AOS during that stay.

And? Someone who is already in the US can file AOS. There is nothing wrong with that. But nothing there says it is okay to enter on B2 with preconceived intent to file AOS during that stay.

Not true. You may be talking about abandonment of I-485. Your I-485 will not be abandoned if 1) you maintained H1b status until right before you leave, and you return on an H1b visa, or 2) you are granted Advance Parole before you leave, and you return on that Advance Parole. There is no such...

So they are green card holders and you naturalized?

It's probably talking about a state driver's license or state non-driver ID. A green card holder is not required to have a state ID, so if she doesn't have one that's fine.

According to 8 CFR 245.2(a)(4)(ii)(A) to (D), if you leave the US while I-485 is pending, you automatically abandon your I-485, unless 1) you leave after being granted Advance Parole and are paroled back using that Advance Parole, or 2) you maintained H1b/H4/L1/L2/K3/K4/V status until right...

Visa is for entry. If she doesn't need to enter, then she doesn't need a visa. If she wants to change status inside the US for her current stay, she can file I-539 for Change of Status. By the way, B1 is for business visitors; B2 is for personal visitors. If you are maintaining L1 status, there...

She can legally stay in the US while her Change of Status application is pending, even if she goes out of status in the meantime. If the Change of Status is approved, they will almost certainly backdate the period of admission of the new I-94 to start on Oct 1, to match the H1b's start.

You do not have automatic extension of work authorization if you do not have a valid H4 I-94. So if your I-94 is expiring, you cannot work beyond that, until your Extension of Stay is approved. However, you can leave the US and re-enter on your H4 visa and a copy of your spouse's new H1b...

There are no issues. Visas are only for entry, and it's normal that Canadian citizens don't need a visa to enter the US as a nonimmigrant. Your I-94 showing your status is what matters for your status in the US.

Citizenship is irrelevant. It's your country of birth that matters. Where were you born?

You mean an immigrant visa in the F4 category? (You posted in the nonimmigrant student visa forum) If so, no, from the US government point of view, there is no problem with someone pregnant entering on an immigrant visa. As to whether the airline will fly someone who is pregnant, you will have...

Yes, as long as you and your spouse will be immigrating together.

You are not a refugee. You are a parolee. You guys need to file I-130 and I-485 for you to do Adjustment of Status. You basically follow the exact same process as someone who entered on a visa who is applying for a green card as the spouse of a US citizen. The petitioner (your spouse) will need...

False claim of citizenship applies to any purpose under federal or state law. The I-9 is specifically included as one of these purposes. 8 USC 1182(a)(6)(C)(ii)(I) says: where 8 USC 1324a is about employment authorization and I-9. What doesn't make sense from your description is why the person...

No. Since you already plan to file I-485 during the stay after your return rather than leave after a temporary stay, you should not enter on F1 visa. This is true regardless of whether you have a pending I-130. If you plan to leave and apply for an immigrant visa abroad, then it should be okay...

You should not enter the US on F1 visa with preconceived intent to file I-485 during that stay. So it's probably best if you don't leave.
