immigrant2046

Everyone makes their own personal choice and we shouldn't judge others because we would have done it differently. Maybe you wouldn't think it was necessary to travel home if one of your parents died but others would. And like I said, the whole point of the AP is for us to be able to travel. 

So I get it that it's beyond you to understand why other people make different choices from you? Maybe for you it's not hard to be away from family, but for others it is. In my case, we like to travel internationally and one year without that is a missed opportunity. Nobody is blaming anyone or anything. You just said you don't understand why people want to travel soon after they arrive. It's pretty simple and easy to understand actually. Also, for many international couples, balancing between the two families is important and for many immigrants (like me) being in the US is a compromise in order to be with our loved ones and in order to make more money so that we can afford more international trips. 
 
And you're wrong about jobs not giving you time off, you just need to know how and when to ask. 

Then all this travel is your choices to make.  Point is don't blame other things for your own choices. As someone who spent 12-15 months on deployments in the middle east, trust me, it's not hard to stay away from family/friends/ect. Honeymoon can be done at anniversary and some don't even bother with it. That's again, your own personal choice to make. And the ability to travel must also show you got EAD but don't want to or aren't working cause I know a lot of companies wouldn't be giving any time off within first 6 plus months, that's usually just an evaluation period. Point is, again, if you're "worried" or "afraid", don't go regardless of whatever circumstance you wish to use as the reason, just pretty simple. And as for the GC holders being held up before, yes there was some miswording/guidance in the first "ban", but also again only USC's are guaranteed entry into the US. A GC still doesn't; but that issue has been corrected and the ban also was supported by the SCOTUS yesterday in it's entirety. So if the laws of this country worry/bother people, again, it is all your personal choice, and a lot of immigrants(regardless how they came in legally through marriage, K-1, F1, ect) understand this and applaud it all (my husband does).. So that's all I'm saying.

Because happens and family get sick and pass away? Because people want to go back for weddings, births, funerals, holidays? That's the whole entire reason why they offer the AP. Plus people want to travel, go on honeymoon. Not everyone goes back to their home country. 
 
I am glad you can laugh about it because most of us are not. Yes, CBP has final say. But if you're outside of the country and their an EO going out about AP's no longer being honored or something then you're pretty screwed. Like the first travel ban were Trump screwed up and it led to CBP not even admitting Green Card holders. 

Because people miss home? Or maybe they just like traveling and are going somewhere other than their home country? It's completely normal to go home or just travel internationally at least once a year and since AOS takes around a year it's normal for people to want to travel before it's approved.
