But I sent the copy of AOS to imm court too.they have my aos file.
Hope LJkt will chip in here.
I think you CAN do AoS. Only thing is when you are on removal proceeding you file i-485 with courts, (via Texas svs Ctr), NOT to Chicago.
Yes, you need to talk to a GOOD LAWYER, who is familiar with AoS filing while on removal proc.
Again for ALL ppl's info...... USCIS acceptance of i-485, fingerprints and call for interview HAS NOTHING TO DO with that your case is OK.
Its just procedural.
When it gets to a IO s/he will review it and tell you whether its ok or not, and that could be sometimes too late for you to do anything differently.
Best!
