Is B1/B2 extension required when family I485 is in-progress?

[sarkalgud]

Hello!

 

I am a US Citizen and have applied for GC for my father who is in the US on a B1/B2 visitor visa. His B1/B2 (I-94) is expiring on Jan 21st. We have received a receipt of acknolwedgement from USCIS for his I130/I485 filing. He also got an appointment letter for biometrics. And, most recently got a "courstesy letter" for medical exam and I-693 to be prepared.

 

Should i apply for B1/B2 extension, given that USCIS has shown in several ways that his GC case is in-progress with them?

 

Thanks!
Sri.

Since he filed a timely AOS petition , he is allowed to stay legally till he gets the GC. Note that B2 extensions are not relevant here.

Thanks for the confirmation! I also called USCIS in the meantime and they told the same too.
