Travel when AOS pending

[Deepa_Sivan]

hi all,

My PD has become current under EB2 Category and have recently filed for my i-485 stage with USCIS. I have a question how long will it take for the Adjustment of Status(AOS). once filed can i travel outside US or do i need to wait till i get my Advance Parole(re-entry permit)/EAD to travel out of country. my h1 is valid till end 2009. Folks, can you please share your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Deepa

If you are still on H1 and have a valid H1b visa and intend to use it on re-entry, travel is allowed. AP is invalid if you travel before approval and you should not use that AP again even if approved.

Talk to your lawyer for double confirmation.
