Does the 5 year count to be a citizen start from Adv. Parole/EAD or AOS
I studied in the US for 2 years on a F1 and have been working for 8 years now.
After being a H1B visa for 6 years, I have had an EAD and an 'Advance Parole' for 2 years now. The 'Adjustment of Status'-I485 (and hence the greencard) is still nowhere in sight with the processing dates being retrogressed ever so often.
Does the 5 year count to be a US-citizen start from the day I receive my 'Adjustment of Status' or has it already begun from when I received my advance-parole/EAD?
Thank you!
