"I am seeing AOS for F1 - TPS is well and good for folks who did not leave the US with AP but not for those who left." --- @IC1101 I cannot say this for sure because I know some friends whose AOS is denied even when they didn't leave US. It will be appropriate to say it depends solely on the judgement of USCIS officer handling the case. As you may have seen another user has commented that their AOS was successful with the similar situation. So it depends on luck as well. Good luck to us all !! This shall pass.
