Congrats!! Getting two APs is standard (at least for the old paper kind) - bring them both when you travel, for the first time, CPB will keep one copy on reentry and you keep the other (or they will just give them both back to you). You can keep traveling on the second one.

OK, good. :) Thank you! I'm hoping I will only have to use one since if I were to need an extra, it would be for a funeral.

Of course, the best would be if I didn't need to use either. :D

Married since 03/02/2011, AOS from F-1 visa, green card granted 05/24/2011.
Blessed with a healthy baby boy, 08/19/2011! We get to keep our family together! Thank you! smile.png

EAD arrived today! Hubby left it on the bed and when I came home from work I squealed with joy. I said, "Why are you so quiet?" and he responded with "Why are you so loud?" LOL I'm pretty sure he'll be glad to no longer be a house-husband. The timing couldn't be better, I can be a housewife while he works for the summer, and then I'll teach for a few weeks followed by a nice long maternity leave.
