I am excited yet nervous to start seeing the 2020 filers decisions start coming in, I know we are still months away, just looking forward to it. 

Is there a high proportion of approvals?  Are there any overall data or statistics? I think I have only see approvals in this forum so far (I am new in here)!

Really? Is this stated somewhere by USCIS? My attorney strongly recommends not to travel (internationally)...

Yes, I have an AP, sorry. 

Is our processing time considered "unlawful presence" (see below)?

 

"If you depart the United States after accruing certain periods of unlawful presence in the United States (time spent in the United States illegally) you may be barred from admission for either three years or ten years, depending on the amount of unlawful presence an individual has accrued.  Any departure from the United States may trigger this ground of inadmissibility, even if you have obtained an advance parole document."

Due to recent changes to U.S. immigration law, travel outside of the United States may have severe consequences for aliens who are in the process of adjusting their status or applying for an immigrant visa (refugees and asylees). Upon return, these aliens may be found inadmissible, their applications may be denied, or both. It is important that the alien obtain the proper documentation before leaving the United States.

Aliens who have pending applications for certain immigration benefits need Advance Parole to re-enter the U.S. after traveling abroad.

Aliens applying for advance parole on the basis of a pending application for adjustment of status must be approved for advance parole prior to leaving the United States in order to avoid the termination of their pending application for adjustment.

 

 

This is from CBP (customs and border protection) website, AP is for you to gain reentry back into US after travel, while you can travel with AP, lawyers are cautious with you traveling because anything can happen while outside, decision can be made on case, policy changes can happen, uscis/border people are sometimes unpredictable, so it make sense that lawyer's advice to wait until decision on case has been made before travelling.

Are they under the same VAWA category as us, or are they in other categories though?

if you are not in removal proceedings then you can travel. I did it 3 times while VAWA is pending.

 

Why your attorney telling you not to travel? is there a reason?

Hi Just need a clarification, is it mandatory to withhold paycheck on medicare and social security for GC EAD holders?

Why does uscis says if case has been pending more than 105 days to request inquiry, but when you request inquiry they say you are still within acceptable time frame, am I missing something?
