Hello Everybody,

I just got my combo card (EAD and AP together) and I would like to make sure I can travel to my country Spain.

Here is the thing, when I applied for the AP we did not listed Spain as a possibility to visit, so I am wondering now if I would have any problems or if I am just allowed to travel to the places I listed in the AP form (I-131).

I've been reading in VJ, called USCIS and read all the letters and the cbp.gov web and it does not state anywhere that you are limited. It states very clear that you will need the AP in hand to re-entry US while your I-485 (GC) is still pending. And more documents like Marriage license and any other that tyou have from USCIS will be great in case they ask more questions.

I would appreciate some help here before buying the flight tickets and avoid any problems when I come back to the US at the Port of Entry.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Maria.

Should be no problem You are not limited to specific countries when you submit for Ap AP allows you to travel out side the US while your GC is in Production.

Shouldn't the first country you put down be the one you're immigrating from? Luckily it does not matter what you put, you are free to travel to any country not just those listed.

Point of Clarification......the AP allows one to re-enter the US....not to travel outside of it. Anyone can leave at any time....but you must have "authorization" to re-enter.
