Yeah, that's what I thought. I need to loop my lawyers in again, they shouldn't miss something like that 😬

Yes, I am an LPR (F2A category)

Yes. The lawyers were actually a bit more pessimistic in terms of delay. They say 6 to 8 months for EAD, 12 to 18 months for AP. > It will also mean no green card for some time...maybe a year Yes, but the laternative is t wait in consular processing. Which also means no green card for some time. In both cases we are dependent of the VB becoming current.

France. Does it make a difference?

Im currently in F2A with PD early 2022. My wife has been visiting me on ESTA since last week and is here for another 2 months. Our I-130 got approved 3 days ago. Lawyers are saying we can use this opportunity to now do AOS as she entered lawfully and genuinely didn't have a dual intent when she arrived. She already had a return ticket when she crossed the border and we literarily had no idea the I-130 would be approve. Is that risky to do or does it feel safe enough given the circumstances? If too risky we will continue with consular processing but that would allow us to be together while we wait. And hopefully have an EAD and AP quite quickly? Thanks to share any knowledgable you might have of similar cases!
