Hi everyone,

 

What do you guys think about using AP while waiting for an AOS interview? My case was approved mid January 2020, I got my c31 EAD but other than that nothing yet. My current AP expires in May. And my dad is dealing with cancer and going through chemotheraphy.  Idk if I should go see him before my AP expires. Even if I apply for a new AP I think it may be risky to leave the country after May. They may send me a notice or anything. And if everything goes well and I get my GC it won't be before the end of this year probably.

 

I went to see my dad last December after he had his first surgery but I just feel bad not being able to support him during this time.

 

What do you guys think? Is it safe to travel with an almost expired AP while waiting for an AOS interview? I'm thinking about a trip in early April since my current AP expires on 5/9/2010.

 

@sandranj  @Stillwinning!!!😊 I'd really appreciate your thoughts about this...

You can travel as long as your AP is valid..the clause is..do NOT exceed the validity of the document! So if you're able to manage it then good..otherwise you may be asking for trouble. Go see your dad though. I'm daddy's girl..I'll definitely go see my dad if I were in your shoes!😊👍

I-360 is a different petition so I'm thinking it won't affect it. If anything, it will be addressed when you go for your i485 interview. Now let's wait for Sandra to give her legal input.👍

why they are saying that photos are not enough. you submitted just one events photos?  what kind of text messages you sent. I got scared when I saw this. I also provided same documents like you. but they contains more specific info. Is there a age difference between you and your spouse. like he or she was younger than you. give us some info what you sent specificity.

Dear community - can someone please advise: I have filed I-360 and I-485 concurrently. I did not include the medical exam report as waiting time is so long now for vawa process. Is it required to submit medical exam with I-485? Will I get an RFE and is it best to take medical exam and mail it now? USCIS site says one can present medical exam at the interview. I am confused. The wait has been more than a year now since filling.

PRECIOUS 100 you just need the I-360 receipt to file the I-485/I-765. You don't need to wait your VAWA to be approved to submit form I-485, considering that your husband is a U.S Citizen.

 

 

Thank you very much dear Sandra. God will bless you more for your help. I'll do that. Please how much is 485, 765 and i-131 ?

 i received a huge RFE 

Your RFE has the answer. You need to submit your joint tax returns, joint bank statements, marriage certificate and pictures, affidavits from friends/family who attended weddings, pics of you two together

We usually receive a courtesy letter for medicals to bring at the time of interview. I haven’t submitted my medicals as well. Waiting for my courtesy letter

Thank you. Is courtesy letter separate from interview notice letter? Isn’t it RFE?

Courtesy letter is not an RFE.. and it is separate from interview notice

As long as you were to return in ample time, your AP is good until it expires.  If you return here during April, you should be fine.  (Have someone trustworthy collect your mail in case an AOS interview notice arrives.)

 

Consider, however, whether your destination country might be quarantined or a travel ban issued because of the coronavirus.  (This might be only a very low-level concern.)

 

This might be worth a phone call to a CBP (Customs & Border Protection) port.  Ask to speak to the supervisor on duty, explain your immigration status, and ask what might happen if you intend to return on a timely basis but a coronavirus ban on travel is issued while you're away.  If you make this call, let us know what you learn.

 

I apologize to you if I'm overthinking this!  

Seriously, blessings to you and your dad.
