hi there, if you filed for the I485 you are able to apply for the EAD (work permit) it takes about 3 month to get it. you can also apply for a AP (advance Parole) form so you can leave the US while waiting for the Green card. usually if you file for I485 you send everything together out.

Hi there! Thanks a lot! But you see I want to go home after i get the Green Card and not during the processing of the Green Card, so do i still need to apply for an AP?

Once you have the green card, you can go travelling without the AP. The GC serves as proof that you're allowed to re-enter the US what with your status as a permanent resident.

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

After the Green card you can go home you are not allowed to stay longer then 1 year out of Country. but for vacation you are fine.

As soon you will receive the green card they will explain everything to you what you can or can not do..

Hi everyone!I got married last November 8. Is it possible for me to get a work permit and ssn before i get the green card? After i get the green card, am i allowed to go home to the Philippines? Thanks

Yes you can.(Can even get ssn before getting married). You can submit EAD application with your AOS .EAD gets approved earlier than AOS,so u could use it to apply for work while waiting for your greencard.Once,you get your greencard you can travel back to Phils.

BTW,congrats on your wedding!!!
