That is not what I was asking. and sorry I am just very confused and trying to understand how this immigration system works since I didn't even know there is such thing.

thanks for the fast reply.

so this might sound stupid but what can/will/could happen if I enter it with my f-1 visa and turn in my paperwork? at what point would I get in trouble? I just want to try to understand.

has this ever actually happened to someone?

Hi,

I am a F-1 student and currently doing post-completion OPt that ends in december 2015. Me and my us-citizen husband got married in April and are just starting to fill out the paperwork for me to apply for a greencard. There was no real rush for us to get it done until I just received news that a close family member in my home country is sick and their health is declining. My mom (who also lives here in the US) and I are planning on flying home in September and it is very urgent that we go then. After thinking for a while I got a couple of questions regarding traveling since I am married and under a F-1 visa but haven't turned any of my greencard froms in yet.

1. If I send in all my forms now, do I have to wait to apply for Advanced Parol for emergency travel until I receive a notification that USCIS received my paperwork? and how long does that usually take, is three weeks not enough time to send it in, get confirmation and then go to my local office to apply for an emergency travel advance parol document?

2. Will i run into problems entering the US even though I have a job and my OPT card and visa is still valid? I have heard different things about this but no one has actually not been let in!? I know it is risky but it is very important that I am able to go home to see my family member one last time.

3. My plan is to turn in my greencard application as soon as i get back from my home country, providing I can enter without a problem. That shouldn't cause any problems, right?

Thank you guys in advance. I am very desperate to find solution!
