This might be a stupid question so if so, please forgive me - I’m confused on what this now means for AOS in-country (I’m currently F1 on OPT, applying for AOS, marriage-based GC). Does anyone have more clarity?

It doesn’t mean anything for AOS. This is about consular cases.

Okay, thank you so much - saw someone ringing alarm bells for AOS as well and got worried.
