In my understanding....u can come back till a day before AP expires.
It is merely for travel.
As long as you have EAD to be in USA to maintain your status, no one should bother you.
Anyone with conflicting experience ?
hello 'myitneeds', 'TheRealCanadian', 'aboppana',
Relating to your responses to 'jack123''s questions...
Seems from your responses to me that international travel, and risk of getting I-485 getting denied are two exclusive things.
If you are unemployed, then the risk factor of I-485 denial...
Hiu Ginnu.
Yes, I agree I do not have enough info on what I hear from others, to consider valis, and there may be specifics.
I think as long as I am being fair with USCIS, and as long as I have extraordinary patience (like many pending I485s) with extremely sluggish and inefficient USCIS, it...
I myself carry 3 months of paystubs (except for 1st one).
I did not bother to carry any bank statments.

IS IT TRUE THAT IF YOUR OUT OF H1B AND TRAVEL SOLELY ON EAD , YOUR ENTRY TO US MIGHT BE REJECTED BASED ON THAT FACT THAT 485 - INTENT TO IMMIGRATE IS IN PENDING STATE ?
As "m_img" mentioned
If you do not wish to rely on H1B for international travel. Apply for AP...

I am on EB2/Jan2006 Labor filing (India). Am on EAD/AP for 2 years. Am on job. I plan 3 to 4 months' visit in December.
(Long hence may have to leave my job).
Wondering how immigration welcomes me at the airport with AP but in...
Thank you Ginnu.
My case is EB2 with labor filing in Jan2006/ India. Filed I485 in Aug2007.

Thanks Ginnu for response.

'vj66321', Apprecite your response. Thank you.
Reason for current change of job:
My employer is selling my division to different company. Hence in new job in that different company, my work description remains the same.

Q2. What are consequences of longer stays?...such as 11 months of stay abroad for her ?
Q3. What is the longest duration a professional can stay...
My situation:
I have EAD valid thru Oct 2010. AP is valid. None of these are used.

Since I plan to...
