Travel doccument v. 1-485

Hi everyone,

I was wondering after I'm married if my fiancee(Canadian) should apply for a travel doccument or wait for the I-485 to clear. Is one quicker than another?

Thanks,

john

Depends on the case. Some people can get their GC in under 90 days, which is about how long it takes the AP to clear. Some take years. If you really need to travel, pay for the AP. If you don't, save your money and hope for the best.

My daughter's AP was approved in 7 weeks, and her AOS was approved in 5 1/2 months, so we were glad we had applied for her AP.

Everybody's case is different, and some do get their AOS approved before AP, but it's not the norm. The decision whether to apply for AP will depend on how desperately you need to travel. If there's no urgency to leave the U.S., you could wait for the AOS to be approved.

Good luck.
