Hi people, quick question...
I'm getting my papers ready for the AOS filing and I'm wondering about the AP I-131. Can I file this and just pick a date in the future of when I might want to travel back to my home country for a visit? Or is this only used in an emergency? From what I have read on VJ it seems many people have filed for non-emergency reasons, however the form states that it must be for emergency or extenuating circumstances. Any ideas?
Thanks!

You can give any reason for wanting AP, such as to visit family or friends, to attend a wedding or other social event. You can just give an estimated date that you want to travel, and if you don't actually travel on that date, it's not a problem.
My daughter requested Canadian Thanksgiving for a reason to want to travel back to Canada, but wasn't approved until after that. She ended up going to Canada right after her approval.
