I filed for ASO, EAD and AP (combo) and therefore all is still in pending mode. I don't have plans to travel any time soon and definitely not before all is approve. However, I just want to educate myself and prepare for the future :)

Once AP is approve and we have a conditional green card (2yrs), how long can one travel and stay outside of the USA? For example, can we stay overseas for a 3 weeks vacation and return with no drama at the POE? Or is there is limit on the amount of time you can travel with an approve AP?

Other documents that I am aware I should take along when traveling are:

- current valid foreign passport

-conditional green card

- official marriage certificate

-EAD/AP card combo
