Hi All,

I am trying to get everything in order to start filling out my applications (I-485, I-130 and I-765).

I was originally going to fill it out in case I wanted/needed to travel at some point during the period my AOS was pending, but as I looked over it I saw that you have to fill out a date of intended travel and how long you will be out of the country for.

I want to be able to travel but do not have any set date to do so. Can I still fill out the I-131 Travel Application??? and if so, what do I put for date etc?

You can put "unknown" for date of travel. AP is routinely approved for people with AOS pending. It is also free, so I urge you to apply for it in case of emergency.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

I know that "N/A" and "none" and accepted on certain forms, is "unknown" an acceptable answer too then?

And I can put "unknown" for both Date of Intended Departure and Expected Length of Trip?

You are AOSing from a student visa, not a family-based visa.
