How does the AP work?

[Teamswirly 3]

When I receive my AP travel document, how do I use it?

Is it stamped when I leave the US or when I enter my destination?

Please post if you have actually received one and used it.

How much is it to get your spouse a visa for returning to the US after applying for AOS?

Its a plastic card. It doesn't actually get stamped. You only present it when returning to the US, along with your passport.

If you're flying out, your passport gets reported to immigration every time you leave and/or enter the country.

I wouldn't risk leaving until I had the AP in hand. If you leave before its approved, you've abandoned the process and may have to start again.

If you leave before AP is approved an in your hand, your AOS will be abandoned. They know when people leave the country. A new spousal visa will take a year and cost $1000. You would also be stuck outside the US the whole time.

Your AP will likely be approved in January. Why do you need to leave?

Why do you have to leave before you get your paperwork approved? If you leave without the AP getting approved you may be considered to have abandoned your AOS and have to start all over again. If its not an emergency back home, wait until you get approved Its important.
