Info Pass or Wait for the interview?

[tkd20matar 0]

Hey guys,

I'm already over the 75 days since my PD and I did not get my EAD/AP card yet. My interview was schedule for the end of this month. My question is, I want to visit my country and spend my birthday with my parents, which will be on March. Should I schedule an info pass? I don't know if I do it, since my interview is this month and I might get my GC before my travel. But if I don't get it? I want to buy the flight tickets but I'm afraid of buying it and don't get my AP or GC on time.

Also, I read something about a stamp on your passport, do I need to ask for that?

My PD is Nov 22, 2016.  
My Bio was Jan 9, 2017
My interview Feb 28, 2017

Travel intention Mar 14, 2017

Thank you!!

You should not make any plans before having the right docs in hand. An approval is not sufficient either. The wait time for the ead/ ap combo card is 90 days, and it could be less or more, so you're still within the expected time frame, it's useless to go for an info pass appointment since there's nothing wrong with your case yet. this is a process, it takes time. Be patient and wait it out, buy the tickets when you have the ead in hand.

 

If you already have an interview scheduled, consider yourself lucky and prepare for that. If they give you a verbal approval, you can tell them you have plans of traveling and ask for a i551 stamp, but it's given at their discretion. 

 

If your plans to visit visit your home country were that important, you should've chosen a visa/ immigration path more suited for your situation.
