Am I in trouble? H1b Holder travel after Filing but no I-131

[jkyoungchoi 0]

Hi,

I'm H1-b visa holder and my wife is USC.

In feburary we filed 130/485/765 via lawyer.

The lawyer told us that I do not need i-131 although I travel after the filing because H1B is dual intent.

Time line

March 5: case received for 130/485/765

April 6: finger prints notice

April 15: finger prints.

April 23: I485 status become "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview"

Then on 28th we left US to travel for a couple of weeks.

Came back on May 12th.

then nothing has changed.

Yesterday my 765 was approved so I was wondering how other h1b holder does, but seems like they all files I131.

This is a little frustration, but would my green card process might jacked up?

Thank you,

Jack

If your H1B still valid, you don't need I-131.
Holder of H1B Visa is freely to travel in and out the US during the validity period.

Thanks for reply.

My h1b is still valid, I was worried because my interview date hasn't scheduled after finger prints.

The I-131 has nothing to do with any other part of your immigration paperwork. It is applying for a travel permit that states your intention to stay in US under the conditions of whichever visa you are currently using.

If you have a visa that already permits reentry and you stay within the time limits for travel without a permit, the I-131 is not needed.

Your lawyer actually got this one right

The adventure continues
