What is my status between entering the US until AOS?

[JandZ 1]

I am wondering what terminology is used to describe an individual who has entered the US on a K-1 visa, until they apply for AOS and until they are granted permanent resident status? Can't seem to find a clear, official answer.

Until I-94 expires: K-1

Thereafter: nothing

Once AOS is accepted for initial review: "AOS pending." or a period of authorized stay. There is no exact term.

Thanks, I understand that those documents are essential to one's being in the US and the stages in the process of getting a green card / becoming Permanent Resident.

I'm still trying to find out what my status will be the moment after I enter the US. For example, assuming AOS is successful, I would become a Permanent Resident. Five years after that I could opt to become a US Citizen. But what am I considered right after I use the K-1 visa to enter the US? My guess is that I would be considered an Alien of some type. If that is correct, there is probably a more specific term

Can anyone point me toward something more concrete than my guess?

Right after you enter the US you are a K-1 visa holder until your I-94 expires. I am not sure what is getting lost here...

In response to my question at the time, an immigration attorney said that the status is "Adjustment-eligible." After applying for AOS but before being granted it, the term is "applicant for Adjustment," or, more simply, "Adjustment applicant."

So where they ask in I-1765 current immigration status do we put k-1 visa holder or Adjustment applicant I was just following the linked examples on here...

Thank you

You are a K-1 visa holder. Are you speaking of the terminology, non-resident alien? That term is not specific to only those entering with a K-1.

Thank you

'K-1 Visa Holder' on the AOS forms where it asks, as the example forms show.
