I am married to a US citizen and I am currently in the US under the VWP. I was about to file for AOS when I found out that I am subject to the 2-years HRR. Now my lawyer told me to still file the I-485 and to either leave the question if I was ever subject blank, or to check "yes" and just add "waiver pending". I just sent out the waiver application (no objection), so it will be a couple of months before I get an answer.
I can stay on the VWP until March 15 and I really don't want to overstay. Should I file the I-485 now? Would they accept it for now, so that I can legally stay while the case is pending? Would they just ask for the waiver later or could they reject it because I didn't have the waiver at the time of filing?
Thanks so much!
