AP question

[Ptt 0]

Hi,

For a tax-money issue I HAVE to go back to my country on April 30th, I won't have my AP yet, so the plan is my wife will send it once she get it, I think by the end of May.

My question is if somebody has leave US without the AP, it is a problem to come back if you get it after the departure date????

I know is kind of risky but we don't have another choice.

Thank you[/font]

i'm pretty sure you need the ap before you leave to show immigration that you will be returning

You can't do that. If you have an emergency - contact USCIS with infopass/call and ask for an immediate AP.

If you leave without the AP - you will be tossing away your AOS.

An individual who has been admitted as a nonimmigrant and has applied to extend the period of authorized nonimmigrant stay, or to change to a different nonimmigrant status, abandons the application if the individual leaves the United States before USCIS makes a decision on the application. Receipt of an advance parole document does NOT prevent abandonment of the change of status or extension of stay application. Upon returning to the United States, these aliens are likely to be denied admission unless they have a new nonimmigrant visa from the U.S. Department of State that supports admitting them in the appropriate nonimmigrant category.

Again, it is important that the alien obtain the proper documentation before leaving the United States., Also, an alien should keep in mind that admission into the United States is not guaranteed even if the appropriate documents are obtained. In all cases, the alien is still subject to immigration inspection at a port of entry to determine whether the alien is admissible into the country.

Don't do it! Why risk your AOS and not be allowed back in the country, what a waste. You will have to start all over again and re-file, spending tons of more $$
