While on AoS, are we classified as US Resident - as long as we pass the IRS resident test of presence in US.

Thank You and best wishes

Yes, as long as you meet these conditions -

1. You lived in the US for 183+ days in the tax year or

2. You lived in the US for a total of 183+ days in the tax year and the previous two tax years, counting 1/2 of the days for the previous tax year and 1/3rd of the days for the tax year before that one.

While AoS is pending, the status is Temp US Resident. This is same on H1/L1/H4/L2.

This is nothing to do with status for tax filing. Example: one staying at B1 status for 183+ days will be classified as US resident just for tax filing (if he has income such as share income), for all other purposes he is still a visitor.
