I-94 expires soon still no receipt notice; petitioner is LPR

[SakuraOsaka 0]

My LPR husband filed a I-130 with a PD of April 2024. I am in the US right now on a B2 visa and we filed the I-485 and it was delivered and received by the USCIS 1 month before my I-94 expires.

Now my question is, if the USCIS received my application on time and my PD is still current, but my I-94 expires by the time the USCIS actually is processing my documents, what will happen then?

Will uscis base the acceptance or rejection on the received date (which is before the expiration of I-94) or on the day they actually processed the documents? (Which may or may not be after the expiration date of the I-94)

As long as you have a receipt notice for I-485, what will happen is that the day your I-94 expires your status changes from lawfully present to authorized stay, which is not the same thing. In many states you will for example not be able to get a driver’s license while in authorized stay status.
 

Make sure you always carry both passport and receipt notice until your AOS is approved.
