Q: C9 current immigration status
I am in the process of renewing my EAD/Parole(I-765 &I-131) . My eligibility category is c9(pending I-485 AOS, Indian Citizen)
On the I-765 form in Part 2 line 24 and 25 there is a question about my immigration status
24.Immigration Status at Your Last Arrival (for example, B-2 visitor, F-1 student, or no status)
25.Your Current Immigration Status or Category (for example,B-2 visitor, F-1 student, parolee, deferred action, or no status or category)
On my recent I-94 the class of admission is "DA"(is it deferred action?)
What do I type in lines 24,25?
Please do help me.
A: Based on the information you provided, you should write "pending I-485 AOS" for both line 24 and line 25. "DA" typically refers to "deferred inspection," which means that your immigration status was not officially determined when you arrived in the U.S. However, since you are currently in the process of adjusting your status to permanent residency, your current immigration status is best described as "pending I-485 AOS."
