I think it's just poor phrasing. What they meant was that the EAD that you get from an approved I-765 lets you work while the I-485 is pending.

What's incorrect about it?

The other exception is people who are maintaining H1b/H4/L1/L2/K3/K4/V status, who leave and are re-admitted into the same status. They do not abandon their pending Adjustment of Status applications, even if they do not have Advance Parole. See 8 CFR 245.2(a)(4)(ii)(C).

Where did you see this?

No. You wait for a month when the date on the chart here for F2A is after your I-130 received date, to file AOS. For the last several years, USCIS has chosen The Dates for Filing chart every month for the family-based categories. For December 2025, the date on the chart is November 22, 2025...

If you are paroled, you will not be on H1b status; you will be on Parolee status. If it's a trip of less than 30 days to Canada only, perhaps you can re-enter on H1b using Automatic Revalidation.

She can work directly with an asylee I-94 (or with an unrestricted Social Security card), without needing an EAD.

No, it's not current. It hasn't been for several years. But it's close to current.

Maybe you should just file I-130 online?

The I-130 needs to be officially received by USCIS before November 22 for him to be able to file I-485 in December. If it's received on November 22, it's too late. I'm not sure how that will affect the STEM OPT extension. After he files AOS (I-485), he can't leave the US while I-485 is pending...

The physical presence test is only about the number of days of physical presence in the 5-year period.

The only difference would be pre-tax deductions. Everything else (post-tax deductions, including tax withholding) would not reduce the taxable income.

Aren't the wages reported on your tax return basically your gross wages?

Check the relevant year's form 1040 instructions, the section near the beginning called "Do You Have to File?" See if anything there that requires filing applies to you. Note that the income is your worldwide income (US plus abroad) the whole year.

If you didn't file 1040NR, you didn't claim to be a nonresident alien. What was your worldwide income during that year? If it was below the standard deduction, and you didn't have self-employed income or some other special circumstance, you were not required to file a tax return.

The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 did not apply to you since you were not under 18 on February 27, 2001. The law from before that required that both your parents naturalized while you were under 18, or one parent naturalized and the other parent was a citizen at the time of your birth, or your...

Sure, you can I don't think any of those have premium processing.

Currently, you are on H1b status. Once your I-94 ends, you will have no status.

If your I-94 ends, your status ends. You can still stay in the US since you have a pending I-485, but a pending application is not "status".

1. Yes 2. If your I-485 is denied (and you are not able to reopen it), you won't have a status to fall back on, and have to leave the US
