    My friend first came to U.S. in 2000 with F-1 visa, the OPT expired in late-August 2007 and his H-1 visa is valid from 10/1/2007 to 2010. He never left the U.S. Is he considered as out of status/overstayed between late-august 2007 and 10/1/2007? He is on AOS-pending status (parent...

    If priority date becomes current on JULY's bulletin - can't submit I-485 til JULY 1?
