Class of admission on i-94: advance parole
I am a student with an F1 visa but with an active I-485 Adjustment of Status application. My husband (a permanent resident) applied for me in January 2022, and we filed for an adjustment of status on in mid-2023. With my "Combo Card" having an approved advance parole, I travelled to another country and returned to USA recently. I showed my combo card to the immigration officer in the port of entry at the port of entry. The immigration officer also inquired of my current occupation. As I said that I am a student, the officer also asked me to show my I-20 document. I showed that as well.
Now, my I-94 document shows that my class of admission was F1 on the day. I was wondering if the class of admission was supposed to be "DA" under the adjustment of status with an advance parole. I read that entering with F1 may abandon my I-485 application.
How will I know if my entry was recorded correctly?
I am worried if the record will create any issue on my F2A visa process.

I understand your question, I would also feel a bit worried. Plesse speak to a immigration lawyer I think it's the best.

I had a similar situation, it was not a big deal in my case even though I worried a lot at the time. just go to nearest airport custom & border protection office, explained the situation, they can fix it less then 5 minutes. and yes you have to make it fixed if you should have DA instead of F1 @Nas BK

@Ivan b I was also admitted as f1 and don't have visa/status of f1 but my i-485 is filed and pending with combo card approved. so this might cause little problem at immigration?

it doesn’t matter in my opinion, all you need to adjust is a legal entry weather DA, tourist or F1.
did your advance parole get approved before i130 ?
