I also want to apply for learning coalition for help for daycare of my baby but we are also afraid this will affect his green card process

SNAP does not count as public charge, but you MUST be transparent about your household at all stages. Am not familiar with the daycare subsidy or who funds it.  but it would make practical sense for your husband to care for the child while you are at work. …since he absolutely cannot work until he gets an EAD.

As long as applicant in status at time of filing and visa bulletin is current AND no unauthorized employment, any F-2 B can apply for AOS….and even if visa bulletin retrogresses , they are fine and will have EAD issued.

 

The subject comes up quite frequently ..most recently an F-2 B poster’s I-485 was delayed by USPS and she missed her I-94 expiry by 3 days , She posted a copy of the denial with relevant sections of the law.

I know.  However, Hacking made a point of stating the person would have to be in status BOTH when applying and when adjustment was adjudicated.  If the "authorized stay" policy was in effect until approval or denial, why didn't he just say "in status when applying".  Having an available visa number, in itself, does not confer status, does it?

Anyway, like I said, it's an interesting and rare case for me. 

He probably made the recommendation about remaining in status until the AOS application gets adjudicated in the off chance the application gets denied for some other reason (outside of being out of status), being in status ensures the applicant is able to legally remain in the US following the AOS denial and probably re-file (if they’re able to address the basis of the denial). As long as OP’s spouse filed for AOS before I-94 expiration, the application will not be denied for being out of status at the time the application gets adjudicated.
