AP 和 EAD 是 I-485 的 benefits，随着 I-485 的 被拒，AP/EAD 也就失效了，即使还没有到有效期满。
有的同学 argue 认为，I-485 被拒是 I-485 的事儿。因为 AP/EAD 仍在有效期内，所以可以继续使用。
在网上找到了一份 I-485 的拒信，如下：
-
The visa petition supporting the application has been denied. Since you are no longer the beneficiary of a valid unexpired visa petition, you are ineligible for adjustment of status, pursuant to 8 CFR 245. 1 (c)(4), supra. Your application for adjustment of status is therefore hereby denied. There is no appeal to this decision.
In accordance with Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, §274a.l2(c)(9), any authorization to accept employment was limited to the time necessary to decide this case. Inasmuch as the application for adjustment has been denied, authorization to accept employment is terminated, pursuant to Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, §274a.14(b)(I)(i).
Furthermore, any parole status granted to you as a result of this application is hereby terminated.
If you have failed to maintain your nonimmigrant status (Le. tourist, business traveler) since your entry into the United States (and have been illegally in the United States for over six months after April 01, 1997), you may be accruing "unlawful presence" in this country. If you entered the United States without inspection, you are accruing ''unlawful presence" since the date of your arrival in this country or April 01, 1997, whichever is later. Pursuant to section 212(a)(9)(B) of the Act, any alien over 18 years old who is illegally in the United States after April 01, 1997 and accrues six months or more ''unlawful presence" will be prohibited from being admitted to the United States should that person depart this country and again seek readmission within three years. If that-same alien is illegally in the United-States for -over one year- after April 01,--1991,.. departs the United States and again seeks readmission within ten years, that person will be prohibited entry. If you were admitted as a nonimmigrant student and fell out of status, you will start to accrue ''unlawful presence" as of the date of this denial notice. If you depart before you obtain six months or one year of unlawful presence, respectively, no bar to your future admission (including adjustment of status) will occur.
如果有人继续 argue 上面的拒信中，并没有指明 AP 的失效。请记住两点：1). 和 EAD 的使用不受 USCIS 的控制不一样，AP 的使用完全控制在 USCBP 的手中；2) 在 I-485 被拒的 30 天之内，通常 AP 会被放进来做 MTR.
有哪位同学在 I-485 被拒俩仨月之后，还手持 AP 大摇大摆进来了，请冒个泡。
除非你还维持有其它的非移民身份，I-485 申请的被拒使你失去了在美国的合法身份。
