What's My Current Status? [split topic]

[Asyasha 0]

Hi everyone! I am marriage-based applicant, and about to renew my EAD/AP that I also received as marriage-based. I know I need to apply under c9 category but I don't know what to answer for the other question -  my 'current status' question. Before I answered J1 but my visa expired long time ago. I guess I am out of status but I have pending i485. I saw the previous answer, and just want to double-check. Should I write something like "i-485 pending applicant" or 'adjustment of status applicant'?

"Applicant for Adjustment" -- or, more simply, "Adjustment Applicant."

"No status"

 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/memos/revision_redesign_AFM.PDF "As discussed in chapters 40.9.2(b)(2) and (3), there are situations in which an alien who is present in an unlawful status nevertheless does not accrue unlawful presence. As a matter of prosecutorial discretion, DHS may permit an alien who is present in the United States unlawfully, but who has pending an application that stops the accrual of unlawful presence, to remain in the United States while that application is pending. In this sense, the alien's remaining can be said to be "authorized." However, the fact that the alien does not accrue unlawful presence does not mean that the alien's presence in the United States is actually lawful."

Thank you!

@Asyasha, I believe my husband wrote "Pending Adjustment of status" or "I-485 pending".
