Please how can I do that ? 

Just Google who your state senator/s are and pick one. Then Google for that Senators website. Their contact details should be on their website. The senator I contacted also had immigration inquiries section on their website. I sent a request via their website immigration inquiry section with a summary of my case and a privacy release form that they required. My senators office has always been very responsive. Your mileage may vary. 

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021. 

C31 EAD production update - Nov 1st, 2021. 

C31 card delivered to attorney's office on Nov 8, 2021. 

I-360 case approved status update - Nov 22, 2021. 

No RFE throughout.  

Senator's office confirmed via congressional inquiry that the St. Louis office has received the I485 file and is currently awaiting interview scheduling - March 7, 2022

C9 EAD renewal card production case update - July 20, 2022 (took them just 17 months to process)

C9 EAD / AP renewal approval case update on both cases on July 21, 2022.

Combo card delivered to attorney's office on July 27, 2022

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.

I am in immigration proceedings too. Have pending i-360 since October 2019. I submitted my i-485 at USCIS irving TX last month and was accepted and received and both uscis and court sent me i-797 receipt notices. Once my 360 get approved, i can continue with uscis and my i485 will be on the queue already. This will save time to get my green card

You cant travel to your home country if you are applying based on asylum. It defeats the purpose. Other than that you can travel the world.

You can travel on AP, but you should not travel to the country you're claiming persecution from because it makes it look like you made a bs asylum claim (this extends pretty much until you naturalize). Travel to anywhere else should be fine, but considering the pandemic, and the fact that AP doesn't really save you from any entry bans due to the pandemic like Brazil, Schengen Zone, etc, I would hold off on international travel for the time being.

I mean you can do it one of two ways.

You can file I-485 with the court which will generally lead to the court granting you continuances until the I-360 is approved, or you can try and get the proceedings terminated and file I-485 with USCIS. In the unlikely event that the court would terminate proceedings after you filed I-485 with the court you'd take the termination order, the receipts from the court and USCIS that you filed with the court, and refile I-485 with USCIS without paying the fee again.

If you travel to your country that you are claiming  prosecution and you are saying to immigration that you will be harmed and that’s why you want to claim asylum your asylum flame will be denied

Thank you. Just for clarification I’m not doing my AOS based on asylum. I was just curious because the person who made the comment said if you did asylum or you are in removal proceedings you shouldn’t travel. Therefore I was wondering if it should be for all international flights in general that one should avoid traveling or to have more clarification on the subject.

Thank you for your comment. I’m not doing my AOS based on asylum. I was wondering if one should avoid traveling at all.
