immigration questions

hello all, as i understand there are 2 ways to get to the USA, CP and AOS.. i took the AOS route, and i was wondering, when can i expect to see my GC
my PD is sept 28, 2006-- my file says it is still under review...
it is located in the TEXAS SERVICE CENTER-- when can i have a visa allocated for me? also will i have to wait until october to get a visa?

When did you do the AOS route? You will not get a GC until visas are available which may be longer than October as we don't know yet what is going to happen then

you are lucky as you have EAD and can keep renewing it until you get a visa allocated

the EAD can be renewed while waiting for the visa allocation?

the EAD can be renewed while waiting for the visa allocation?

Yes, It is good for 1 year and renewable as long as the Adj. of Status is still pending. The EAD is only available for those who have filed for AOS.

You can't file AOS as you are in the Phillipines, plus this is not a recommended route to file with immigration

no one knows what will happen in Oct, you do have a chance to getting a visa but you can just renew your EAD whilst you are waiting

It is against US immigration to travel to the US with a tourist visa and change status. Even if you go this route you are looking atleast 90 days before you can file and can take a few months before you get EAD and until that time you can not work so must support self. Even then you are still at risk of it being denied. This has been discussed a few times have you tried using the search facilities?
