My I-485 is submitted and i am waiting for an interview and i need to travel back to my country. Do i need to pay for a forum I-131? or can i just submit it since the I-485 fee covered it?

thanks! probably a silly question but i didn't understand what the guide meant.

Apply for the AP and submit a copy of the NOA1 from the I-485 so they will waive the fee. Also remember that you can leave the US at any time you feel like it, but without the AP or GC you will not be readmitted to the US and will have to start all over with a spousal visa. Unexpected travel is one of the reasons it is highly recommend to apply for the AP when you submit the I-485. You never know what hand life will deal you.

Good luck,

Dave

Hope everything is alright. My wife also had something come up in her family that she was not able to attend to in person. I hope everything is alright.

You do not need to pay for it. But it will take up to 3 months to get. Why didn't you apply for it at the same time as the I-485?

If it's a real emergency, you can apply for an emergency one in person by making infopass appointment and bringing in proof of the emergency, and they can issue one right there in the local office.
