Ok, strange question. I have had my travel planned back to the UK with my wife for my graduation in 2 weeks time for about a month now (since the day my AP papers came through).

My AOS got transfered to CSC and has been touched constantly for the past week and I fear it is going to get approved (sounds stupid?) before I travel. So, my predicment is that I feel my green card is going to be approved just before or while I am travelling, and not have the card in hand while travelling if that makes sense. Is this a problem?! Having my AOS approved and uisng my AP papers? So when I enter the US and the guys at POE see in their system I have a green card but not with me....?

Can anyone help me with this question?

Thanks!

Hi Tony. This is what happened to me. My AOS was approved a week before I took a trip to Canada. The day after I left the US, my greencard arrived in the mail. Twice, I crossed the border back into the US during that trip using my AP, even though I had a greencard sitting at home in the US. I was processed through exactly the same way as before I'd been approved. So not to worry. It's not going to be a problem.

Ah excellent - thanks!

And I got approved today smile.gif I doubt it will arrive before I leave, so looks like we are in the same boat!

Well, mine came a week after the approval so you may get it yet. Congratulations on the approval!
