My husband (who came to the US on a K1 visa) has a pending AOS.  He was also approved for EAD and AP, and received the combo card.  He has traveled to his home country today for vacation (Dominican Republic) and lost his wallet in the airport.  Luckily, he still has his passport, but the combo card was in the wallet.  I've canceled credit cards, and am sending him cash via Western Union, but am very worried about how he's supposed to return to the US next Saturday, without his EAD/AP card!  We have photocopies of everything, but I suspect that's not valid for re-entry.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Suggestions are appreciated.

 

Thanks :(

I lost my GC when I was in England and I had to apply for a transportation letter to be able to come back. I wont lie to you it was stressful. I had to contact the embassy in London, then report it missing to the police, who gave me a crime reference number and then I emailed my embassy who booked an appointment for the letter. It cost quite a bit with the travel there and such. I would say he needs to contact his embassy and they will guide him through it.

Removal of Conditions..  TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK

 

Time to reset the tick tock clock again.   Roll my eyes.

 

GC  Conditional date:  05/26/2015

N400.  Application:      02/28/2018       

Biometrics:                    02/22/2018

 

Waiting............    Roll my eyes again :(

Thank you for sharing; I had read of some similar stories, but all seemed to be specific to green card.  Unfortunately, he doesn't have a green card yet and travelled on AP Advanced Parole document.  Of the other stories I've seen shared online, some people have been successful getting a transportation letter from the embassy while others have been told that's only for LPR's, and have been turned away.  Unfortunately we have to sit tight until Monday when everything opens so we can start asking questions.

I don't know much, but I know I went online to my embassy at the time and searched it, or researched it. I will gladly do that for you now if it helps.
