Traveling through inland border checkpoint while adjusting status?

[aureliano 3]

Currently adjusting status from K1 to temporary green card (I-485 pending).

Would there be any issue passing through an inland border checkpoint?

Without docs - yes. With docs - most likely not. Were you in status when you filed I-485?

Yes we were in status.

My wife has the following documents:

• K1 (expired)
• I-797c to adjust status with I-485
• Texas drivers license
• EAD card
• SSN card

Pending I-485 gives her authorized stay so you should be fine with NOA1.

She needs to have the immigration documents (passport, the NOA and the EAD wouldn't hurt) on her person when headed through the checkpoint.  Shouldn't be an issue because everything is legitimate, but just verify all dates are current on the paperwork.  USCIS sometimes makes typos and you don't want CBP to be the ones to realize it...
