Combo or not ??
Hello everyone,
I filed my package i485,i-765,i-130 from ny to Chicago on October/16
But then an emergency happened in the family so i saw that is necessary to have a travel document so later in December we filed i131..
My EAD finally approved and still waiting the card !!
Do you think that i will receive EAD/AP a combo card ? Anyone had experienced this ?? If not how long it takes for AP to be approved ?? My case is marriage based !

Waiting on AP document
I had my AP approved on December 15th and received the approval letter 3 days later.However, I still haven't revived my actual AP document. I reached out to USCIS 2 weeks ago and they were little help, the gentleman submitted an inquiry about it but did not provide me with any information if it was mailed and lost or just wasn't mailed, he said he didn't see anything other than it was approved.
He said I would have to wait from 30-60 days to put in another inquiry. Has anyone have this issue before? How long did it take to receive the AP document after getting the approval letter?
Thanks for the help!

Travelling with AP
I just got my AP approved through my Green Card application.
Still waiting for the interview date, though.
Planning to travel back to my home country alone without my husband very soon.
I got in to the US through my visitor (B1/B2) visa and have overstayed 3 months since our marriage....
So nervous to travel alone but yet I have to because of my family back home.
Any advise from you?

Advanced parole for TPS
Just sent my application for advanced parole on Friday the 26th, it’s suppose to arrive today the 29th at the USCIS PO Box in Dallas. I’m planning a trip to Haiti in either July or August. So I made sure to apply for the AP as early as possible so there would be no worries. The man who help me apply for my AP had already let me know that immigration is now taking longer to approve them. He said its going to take three close to four months for me to receive it. I have a cousin who has applied for it before while Obama was president and she only had to wait a month for her to receive it. So anyone who is planning on making a trip this year I would recommend that you guys apply for your AP as early as possible. I’ll keep you guys updated

EAD extension
Dear all,
I have a question regarding extension of EAD.
my I-140 was approved on 11/16
EAD and AP combo card received in 03/17 which is valid till 02/28/18
I have a valid H1-B status till 02/2019. I applied for EAD just in case I wanted to change the employer
However, I traveled outside the country using my AP and was paroled back in US on 12/05 until 12/18/18 (one year)
My I-485 is pending since 12/27/16
Now I want to apply for extension of my EAD and not sure what is my status now and on which status I entered the country.
According to my attorney, as soon as I use AP, my H1-B becomes null and void and I switch to I-485 pending status
According to my employers attorney, as long as I have a valid H1-B and do not change the employer, status will remain H1-B regardless how I entered the country (using AP or VISA stamp).
Does someone has the similar experience?
Could someone advice me what to do here, who to believe?
thanks

Advance parole
HI all, need help and advice. I apply for advance parole (TPS) and USCIS approve I-131 and I-512L but they only send one copy of I-512L. When I research online every one got two copy of I-512L. Is it ok to travel with just one copy of I-512L? I am travelling next week any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you.

Traveling without Advance Parole, on H1B
Hi all,
I have been reading this forum and i saw few positive posts as well.
I have concurrently filed i-131,i-765,i-485
Received the package on November 21st.
Bio-metrics on December 21st.
I sent a request to expedite the i-131 and it i got USPS notification that the letter reached the Missouri NBC on 01/11.
But i could not find any update when am checking online cases status.
I have to travel to India urgently next week.My lawyer is saying that i should not travel until i receive the Advance parole.She is saying that i wont be able to re-enter if i travel now and she has seen cases like that recently.
But i have my H1B extension approved.Though I need to get it stamped from India.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you in advance,

Lost EAD + Adbance Parole Combo and need to travel
My lawyer received the letter saying my Employment Authorizantion and Advanced Parole had been approved on December 17th. I didn;t receive my letters and the lawyer said it should have been the holidays and USPS should have been too busy. But it had been 2 weeks since my lawyer got the notice so I contacted USCIS and they told me the card had been sent and gave me a tracking number.
Here we go:
- the card was delivered on December 16th, 2017.
- it was delivered to my nexdoor neighbor because my lawyer filled in the form with the incorrect apartment number and we didn't see it. (I found it out by myself after having all the cameras in my building checked, after thinking my mail had been stolen, and all the possibilities, i decided to go over the forms and found out the mistake)
- my neightbor doesn't know me and instead of giving the letter to the concierge desk of our building or dropping the envelope in the outgoing mailbox, HE OPENED MY MAIL AND DROPPED ONLY THE CARD IN THE MAILBOX.
- the card was a loose item in the mailbox. On the back of the card, there are directions for USPS when they find the card : the card was sent to USCIS in Missouri. I talked to a post marter at USPS who recognized my last name and confirmed the card was sent to Missouri on Demecer 29th. No tracking number though.
- now my card is considered as lost, although I never received it. USCIS officers don't seem to know what's the procedure in Missouri when they get these lost cards.
- I haven't received the official approval notices either, and my neighbor probably threw them away and doesn't want to admit it.
- we planned out wedding in my home country and it's in March - we have put a lot of money already and have people flying from all around the world, with hotel and tickets already purchased. Our lawyer is not helping much, he keeps telling us to wait because he doesn't seem to understand it's a loose card. He says he calls USCIS and they say we have to wait for them to get the "undelivered mail". But this is definitelly NOT my case, cause the neighbor opened the mail, dropped THE CARD ONLY in the mail box, USPS found it and sent it in another envelope to MISSOURI.
- does anymody know what they do with the cards when they get them in Missouri?
- In case they destroy the cards in Missouri, I understand I will have to apply to a replacement, but it takes 90-120 days to get the replacement, and that means I wouldn't have my card before my wedding.
- On the other hand, I have already been approved and I was wondering if there is still hope that I could get any document that would allow me to come back while I wait for my replacement. Remember I haven't received the official letters.
Has anybody been through this?
