needing clarificatin on AP

[Looppen~Treasure 0]

Hey Guys! I need some clarification...

My husband has a K-1 Visa; we sent in our (on 3/9/09) AOS, EAD & AP before the status expiration date.

How long is the AP good for? How does that work?

Is it a stamp in the passport or a paper that you carry with you?

We just had our biometrics yesterday so hopefull we will get approval soon.

Thanks!

AP is good for usually a year. You receive 2 copies of AP, hand both into the CO on your first return to the states, they stamp and process them and give you (usually) 1 back. Every other time you travel you present that 1 copy. They're good for a year or until you get your GC.

Ok Thanks! But correct me if i'm wrong....once we recieve the conditional green card he still cannot leave the country if the AP is expired. Only after we recieve the 10yr green card.

Nope you CAN leave and return with conditional green card.

The AP is good for a year. Once you receive the conditional green card, the AP is no longer needed and you can travel with only the conditional green card.
