If AOS denied, is AP still good????

[Luiz da Paz 0]

On Monday we had our AOS interview and it was left at 'just wait for a letter explaining what to do next'. So, today we find out that the AOS has been denied when we looked up the status online. We are still waiting for the letter to tell us exactly WHY we were denied.

The problem is that my husband is scheduled to leave the country next Wednesday. If he has a valid multiple-entry AP, will he still be allowed to re-enter the U.S. in 3 weeks if his AOS has been denied? Does a denied AOS make an otherwise valid AP and EAD void? Please advise us!

The AP and EAD are valid only while the AOS is pending. Once the AOS has been denied then the temporary period of authorized stay is terminated, and the alien's status is "voluntary departure". If your husband leaves the US he will not be allowed to reenter with the AP. If you intend to appeal the AOS decision then he must not leave the US.

Sorry to hear about your denial, what reason did they give you, surely it's worth fighting, like others have said the AP and EAD is not valid once denial of petition has occured. Please tell your husband not to leave if you want to fight it!
