Received EAD/AP

[Don shikari 0]

This morning I received my EAD card, along the bottom is reads : serves as I-512 advance parole.

I presume this is my AP.

My question, does this override everything? I'm a current f1 student. I'm enrolled in 12 hours this semester. My visa in my passport expired due to a mistake from my last international advisor. My I-20 has the correct date and doesn't expire until 2014.

Advise please. I want to travel to England for a week tomorrow.

Thanks

You travel on AP, not on your I-20. Don't try to enter as a student, enter on your AP. And yes, as I told you, twice I believe, that is the wording that makes your EAD card also an AP.

Bon voyage!

Thank you for your help. So on returning to America when going through immigration and the officer asks me why I'm coming to America do I say I'm f1 going through AOS. How does that work?

Who asks you "why are you coming to America?" I would say "I live here" or "Here is my Advance Parole" or "I am married to a citizen" or something.

I think when you present your AP card and passport that question won't even be asked. That seems like a question to ask tourists.
