Hi VJ Community,
I have been searching for information regarding a stepchild adjustment of status, who currently has a pending i-130 with USCI; The dilemma here is that USCIS has the following: "Alternatively, if your stepchild is already in the United States, after USCIS approves your Form I-130, your stepchild may apply to adjust their immigration status to become an LPR by filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status," so since the i-130 has not yet been approved, the question is:
Can the stepchild adjust status with the pending i-130 (797 - Receipt)? Based on other information I've read he qualifies as an IR of the US Stepparent and as such a visa should be immediately available
Thank you all in advance for your help and time
