Any AUGUST 2010 filers out there? please post your time line here!

Here folks, I rest my case. Those who still want to travel on AP, feel free...............................

Q19. Can I travel outside the United States if I have an immigrant visa petition or labor certification application filed on my behalf on or before April 30, 2001?

A19. If you are living illegally in the United States, the mere filing of a visa petition or application for a labor certification has no effect on your current immigration status or unlawful presence in the United States. If you leave the United States, you will have no authorization to re-enter the country.

When you file your application for adjustment of status (Form I-485), there is a way to obtain permission in advance to travel abroad by requesting "Advance Parole" from INS. However, if you have accrued more than 180 days of unlawful presence, you should not travel abroad because you then will be barred from admission to the United States for either three years or 10 years, even if you were granted "Advance Parole." Generally, the three-year bar to admission applies to those who were unlawfully present in the United States for more than 180 days and leave the country, and the 10-year bar applies to those who were unlawfully present in the United States for one year or more and leave the country.

If you haven't filed the e-mail request form then you won't receive an e-mail. Keep an eye on your check, you physical notice will show a day or two after they cash the check.

Filed I130 for my mother:
08/16/2010(Day 0) Package sent by USPS priority mail to Chicago lockbox
08/18/2010(Day 2) Package received and signed for in Chicago

It seems on average 10 days to get next step update. So, I'm expecting to provide an update on 08/28.
 
Hi everybody, I haven't made up all my fees as yet trying desperately too. Does anybody know that if I dont file by the end of Aug cause my pd is 4-30-01 F4 , if I will still be able to file in SEPT under 245i?
 
Good News: Once you have a current PD, you can apply whenever you please, there is no expiration.
Not So Good News: The longer you wait, there are very slim chances that the PD's may retrogress.
