The form is free and should take about one minute of your time. I implore you to apply for it; there are many stories on here of people whose family got ill or died and they could not go home just because they didn't apply for AP.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

I see some posts that say you don't need a specific reason to travel when you file I-131 with I-485. I am doing just that. I want to know what you put in Part 4, 1.a for Purpose of travel. and 1.b. List the countries you intend to visit.

Just leave them blank?

Thanks,

Bob
