My interview was 7/17 (pending name check) and the last "touch" on 485 and 130 was 6/24.Nothing since then.Not even a small "touch" after interview.That makes me feel like my files are sitting somwhere at the bottom of a drawer

Her name check is done, its not that.

so then, make an infopass and sort it out, or wait awhile to see if you get the welcome notice/greencard in the mail.

Natasha had a grand mal seizure last week so I want to know what our choices are.

Not sure what you mean by choices but I sure hope she is ok.

I think she is ok, she will need her family and friends for a while, more than 30 days which the AP provides, if we have to we will do a K3 later, she has AP and EAD but they are worthless now, we need green card or nothing.

Why do you think the AP only allows 30 days? Why are her documents worthless?

[Nick'n'Nat 0]

I thought AP was only for 30 days, is it more? Can she go and I could bring her green card later? I meant they are worthless if she has to be gone more than 30 days and that means she abandonned her adjustment of status. Sorry its been a very hard month and I am breaking down a little, but we still care care very much for each other and trying to make it all for the best.

Nick, I think you should do some research on the topic.

When I did, I could not find a single line anywhere that limits the stay outside the US while holding Advance Parole, other than the expiration date of the document. Zyggy participated in the thread, but I will have to think of what words to search on (you could try the obvious of his nick, my nick and 'advanced parole' in the advanced search). It was in the past 6 months.

I am certain that it is more than 30 days.

And, if you want to contact an 'abandonment' specialist, I'll pass along his info--he posts at BE.

Hang in there

Your EAD and AP are not worthless now, since your AOS has not yet been approved. You can use them until they expire, or until you get your approval, whatever comes first. When I went to my AOS interview, I left without a decision, and the interviewer told me to hold on to both of those until the decision came through. And I am sure meauxna will find some good info for you as well.

Ummm, I'm not sure it helps, since it's not an official source: http://faq.visapro.com/Advance-Parole-FAQ3.asp#Q8

Also:

8 CFR PART 223 -- REENTRY PERMITS, REFUGEE TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, AND ADVANCE PAROLE DOCUMENTS

Sec. 223.3 Validity and effect on admissibility.

(a) Validity.

(1) Reentry permit. Except as provided in Sec. 223.2©(2), a reentry permit issued to a permanent resident shall be valid for 2 years from the date of issuance. A reentry permit issued to a conditional permanent resident shall be valid for 2 years from the date of issuance, or to the date the conditional permanent resident must apply for removal of the conditions on his or her status, whichever comes first.

Edit: Oh, d'oh, I realize that it doesn't answer the question asked. My bad.
