We sent in an AOS package (including I-130) for a parent of a USC who is here on a B-2 visa and had not originally planned to stay. If we don't receive an NOA before the expiration of their authorized 6-month stay, do we have a problem? I am worried that the I-94 indicates they need to leave by mid-September but we might not have any official recognition of our documents being submitted by then.  Thanks for any help you can offer!

Once a person submits a proper I-485 package, he/she is granted authorized stay in the US until the I-485 is either approved or denied.  That person should carry a copy of the receipt.

Thank you. I'm wondering about the in between time when you don't yet have a receipt.

I'm not as worried about the nonresident walking around in the US, but moreso about what happens if the NOA is dated after the expiration of the authorized 6-month stay as a tourist. Or does the NOA indicate the date USCIS received the package at the processing center? It was received a week ago but the I-94 is only for two more weeks.

Even if it is issued 2 months later, the NOA1 receipt date will be the date uscis received the package (likely the your delivery date) not the date when they issue it.

Thank you for this. This is the peace of mind I was hoping for
