Adjustment of Status Based EB2 while in Court Proceedings?

I-140

I would appreciate any guidance or shared experiences regarding my situation.

Here’s a brief overview:

  • I entered the U.S. on a tourist visa and applied for asylum within the 180-day period.
  • Since then, my case has been in immigration court, and I currently have a master calendar hearing scheduled.
  • I have an approved EB2 NIW petition.

My question is:

Can I initiate the adjustment of status process while I am still in removal proceedings, or am I only eligible for consular processing?

Any advice, shared experiences, or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
