US Immigration from Australia

Hello there, I am wondering if I can reenter the US with a current re-entry permit but expired greencard (expires October 23)?

Thanks !

Hi everyone!

My window to file my N400 (based on 3 year rule) is opening around the first week of December 2023. Here is my question... and PLEASE don't give me a hard time if this is a dumb question, here i go.

I want to go to Australia to visit my family in September, but i want to go for a few months (less than 6 months). If i leave for Australia in September and then in December fly to Hawaii for a vacation and while Im thete submit my N400 online, before returning to Australia again, is that possible?

I would then return to the mainland US when I get my interview scheduled/ before 180 days have lapsed.

I am aware of the continuous residence requirement and the physical presence requirement.

Thank you kindly for your input!

Hey guys

Do you know if you can visit the US on an ESTA while awaiting your interview for the B2?

I've got an active ESTA and have decided, after already making plans (flights etc) to visit the US on this ESTA that later on it will be best for me to get a B2. I can't do the interview for that until August.

So should I still be ok to travel on this ESTA if I submit my application for the B2 now?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

If visa was 'approved' at interview and i'm still waiting for it (+10 business days) is it possible it's under additional administrative processing without being told?

This is my situation: I've been on H-1B status while waiting for I-485 marriage-based AOS, and have travelled in and out of the country in the past with no issue.

This week, my I-485 was approved, but because the timeframe for I-131 has been so slow, I never received an Advanced Parole document. My wife and I have travel booked in for Mexico in 2 weeks' time, not expecting that my AOS would be approved so soon.

So my question is: Am I still permitted to re-enter the United States from another country using my current, valid H-1B visa stamp? (given that my I-485 is now approved, but I don't have either AP or GC in my possession yet)
