485 期間究竟能不能有 F 身份﹖
有人認為可以有﹐依據是﹕
[Federal Register: June 1, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 104)]
[Rules and Regulations]
[Page 29208-29212]
From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov]
[DOCID:fr01jn99-2]
Adjustment of Status; Continued Validity of Nonimmigrant Status,
Unexpired Employment Authorization, and Travel Authorization for
Certain Applicants Maintaining Nonimmigrant H or L Status
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=1999_register&docid=99-13759-filed
裡面有這麼一段﹕
What Categories of Aliens May Maintain Nonimmigrant Status After
Having Filed for Adjustment of Status?
... ...
In addition, the Service is considering expanding the dual intent
concept to cover other long term nonimmigrants who are visiting this
country as traders (E-1), investors (E-2), students (F-1, J-1 or M-1),
or scholars (J-1), etc. These nonimmigrants, who are typically
authorized to stay in this country for considerable lengths of time,
often need to make short overseas travels during their authorized stay.
Under the ``dual intent'' doctrine, these nonimmigrants would be able
to maintain valid nonimmigrant status and travel overseas without
advance parole while applying for adjustment of status.
... ...
The Service is interested in the public view on this matter and
would appreciate written comments.
但是本人(tidewater)意見不同。原因是那句﹕"the Service is considering
expanding ..."。Expand 了沒有﹖沒有﹗正在考慮 expand。
查 8 USC section 1101(a)(15)(F)(i) (or INA section 101(a)(15)(F)(i))
還是有那句 "no intention of abandoning":
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=browse_usc&docid=Cite:+8USC1101
http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-22/slb-457?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm#slb-act101
(F)(i) an alien having a residence in a foreign country which he
has no intention of abandoning, who is a bona fide student qualified
to pursue a full course of study and who seeks to enter the United
States temporarily and solely for the purpose of pursuing such a
course of study consistent with section 1184(l) \1\ of this title at
an established college, university, seminary, conservatory, academic
high school, elementary school, or other academic institution or in
a language training program in the United States, particularly
designated by him and approved by the Attorney General after
consultation with the Secretary of Education, which institution or
place of study shall have agreed to report to the Attorney General
the termination of attendance of each nonimmigrant student, and if
any such institution of learning or place of study fails to make
reports promptly the approval shall be withdrawn,
對於 H 身份, 8 USC section 1184(h) (or INA section 214(h)) 中有這麼
一段定義了 485 下的 H 身份。可是﹐該段並沒有提及 F 身份:
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=browse_usc&docid=Cite:+8USC1184
http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-22/slb-3184?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm#slb-act214
(h) Intention to abandon foreign residence
The fact that an alien is the beneficiary of an application for a
preference status filed under section 1154 of this title or has
otherwise sought permanent residence in the United States shall not
constitute evidence of an intention to abandon a foreign residence for
purposes of obtaining a visa as a nonimmigrant described in subparagraph
(H)(i), (L), or (V) of section 1101(a)(15) of this title or otherwise
obtaining or maintaining the status of a nonimmigrant described in such
subparagraph, if the alien had obtained a change of status under section
1258 of this title to a classification as such a nonimmigrant before the
alien's most recent departure from the United States.
再查 8 CFR Sec. 214.2(f)﹐本人沒有看到有關該問題的敘述。
http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-9976/slb-16291/slb-16778?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm#slb-8cfrsec2142f
所以根據本人現有的信息﹐本人認為 485 下是否可以有 F 身份依然是一個沒有定論
的問題。
大家接這個貼子討論吧。

I started this topic long ago and thought it was more reasonable to believe
F1 status would be lost because of two reasons--F1 should not have
immigration intention; It is risky to file 140 and 485 concurrenty. But it
seemed to be a gray area and no one lost F1 status because of filing
485 in real world. In last discussion, people who believed F1 status co-exists
during 485 pending didn't/could't explain why there was such saying "it is
very risky/riskier to file 140/485 concurrently". Maybe they don't believe
this, or they thought there was small chances that BCIS could "mis"-interprete
F1 status during 485 pending.

這個我好像聽說過﹐可是我從來沒找到過 legal base。我剛才看了下面一些
