저는 비자만료 전에 140받고 grace period 때에 485 냈어요. 아마 요즘 2-3달 걸려서 접수증 기다리고 있어요. 여기서 “accpets your application” 은 485가 도착한 때로 되는걸로 알고 있어요.
Once U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) accepts your Adjustment of Status Application, you become an “adjustment of status applicant” with the legal right to remain in the United States. You are not required to maintain your previous nonimmigrant status, but there are advantages to keeping in good status.
