현재 I-485를 신청한 상태이면 ‘AOS Pending’이라고 쓰십시오.
예전에 이곳에 쓴 것인데요…
Class of Admission
이 용어를 그대로 보자면,
입국 허가 때 받은 체류신분의 종류를 말합니다.
즉, I-94에 적어준 F1, F2, H1B, H4, L1, L2, E2 등이요.
쉽게 생각해서 입국 때 사용한 비자의 종류라고도 할 수 있습니다.
그런데, 아래 설명에 의하면
사실 이것은 입국시에 받은 체류신분을 묻는 것이 아니라
현재 체류신분을 묻는 것이라고 합니다.
그래서, 이 변호사의 말에 따르면,
F1으로 입국한 후 H1B로 체류신분 변경을 했다면
H1B로 쓰라고 합니다.

Class of Admission Defined by USCIS
We have recently had a number of clients, as well as MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers, ask us what the USCIS means by the term “Class of Admission” on the new Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. The USCIS has confirmed that they are seeking the applicant’s current immigration status. They are not looking for the status at first or most recent entry to the U.S., if different from the current status. For example, if a person entered the U.S. through a Port of Entry and was granted F-1 status, but later changed his or her status to H1B from within the U.S., the correct answer on the form for Class of Admission is H1B.
It is unclear why the USCIS decided to change the phrasing of this question. We appreciate that they have clarified the definition so that we are better able to assist our readers and clients in providing accurate information to the USCIS.
