看了一下详细的条款,发现一个问题,原文附在后面。 我的理解是,这个EAD只能是合法停留美国(Period of authorized stay),但并不是处于有效的非移民签证状态(non-immigrant status)。如果排期到了,想提交485的时候,可能会因为没有有效签证而被拒。不知道我的理解是否准确,在这里抛砖引玉。.1point3acres

部分原文如下:
USCIS considers an applicant with a valid EAD based on compelling circumstances to be in a period of authorized stay by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
As noted above, a period of authorized stay is distinguishable from nonimmigrant status. Individuals who are in a period of authorized stay but are not in a nonimmigrant status may therefore, depending on the facts, be ineligible for a change or adjustment of status for failing to maintain a lawful status.[13] However, individuals in an authorized period of stay do not accrue unlawful presence, so they may subsequently leave the United States to apply for an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa at a consular post abroad, without triggering the unlawful presence grounds of inadmissibility (as long as they have not otherwise accrued periods of unlawful presence).
[^ 13] Applicants are generally barred from adjusting status under INA 245(a) if they are in an unlawful immigration status at the time of filing. See INA 245(c)(2). See Volume 7, Adjustment of Status, Part B, 245(a) Adjustment, Chapter 3, Unlawful Immigration Status at Time of Filing (INA 245(c)(2)) [7 USCIS-PM B.3]. Applicants are also generally barred from adjusting status under INA 245(a) in an employment-based category if they are not in a lawful nonimmigrant status at the time of filing. See INA 245(c)(7). See Volume 7, Adjustment of Status, Part B, 245(a) Adjustment, Chapter 5, Employment-Based Applicant Not in Lawful Nonimmigrant Status (INA 245(c)(7)) [7 USCIS-PM B.5]. |
