Do you need to be physically in the United States when you file I-485? Is there such a law saying so?

Thx!!!!

You can enter US by a valid H visa or advanced Parole. You have to apply AP when you physically in the States.

Hey, thanks!! I am ready to file 485 now (I can send out all the documents tomorrow!) but my husband, who is going to file with me, is currently outside USA on a business trip. I wonder if I have to wait until he comes back... It's kinda urgent as I want to get a EAD card asap:)
