Hello,

I'm applying for marriage based GC- i-485 and also for i-131 ,(currently out of status- for over 5 years) ...

and we would like to go to see my family this summer while we are waiting on interview for GC.

I heard about new Immigration Law that makes this possible without any ban and without any problems coming back..

Does anyone knows more about this or anyone had any similar experience ??

Thanks!

If you are long term out of status then it is safest to not leave the US until you have the green card in hand. Too much to risk by leaving beforehand.

So you think it would be still risky even after this new law is on power?

This is info I found http://www.mmvlaw.com/2012/04/24/board-of-immigration-appeals-bia-decision-10-year-bar-to-reentry-may-not-be-triggered-if-departed-with-advance-parole/

That looks good. But there is always a risk when entering.

Is there anything else in your time in the US that could cause an issue?

What is your risk tolerance?

It may be worth consulting a qualified immigration attorney to get an opinion on this recent decision.

No issues - clean record , not in proceedings , not even unpaid traffic tickets :) ...only overstayed...

Risk Tolerance - I don't wan't take too much risk ...that's why I'm trying to get as much info I can..and hoping someone got experience with this new law..

Thanks again

Given how recently the ruling has been made, probably not a lot of experience here in the VJ membership. Spend $100 and talk to a good immigration attorney for an opinion.

Yep. You might be ok. You might not. Given your long overstay and the potential mess it could cause, I would not risk it just to visit family a couple of months early. AP takes 2-3 months anyway and the GC is usually only 4-6 so you are really only looking at another 2-4 months wait. Not that much after 5 years.
