Hi Folks,
According to the USCIS under Sec. 210.5 Adjustment to permanent resident status, it appears that aliens are classified in two categories( Group 1 and Group 2).
For aliens under Group 1 , ( when AOS has been filed after Nov 30,1988)
shall be adjusted to lawful permanent residence one year from the date of the adjustment to temporary residence, while aliens under Group 2 shall be adjusted to lawful permanent residence after two years.
How do we (an alien who has filed for AOS) know under which Group he or she belongs ?
If anyone knows about this, kindly enlighten us with your knowledge.
