I never got an approval email for my EAD, just the card production ordered email on the 10th. :confused:

PraetorianXI, you get the card production ordered LUD/email first and then the approval notice sent LUD/email. The card is mailed out to you together with the approval notice.
"Approval notice sent" LUD indicates that USCIS have mailed your card to you and it's on it's way (that's how it should work but strange things have happened i.e. duplicate emails and simsim's experience). It's the 2nd LUD that we're all waiting for now :)

He has a great job offer in hand with one of the largest photography companies in the south and hasn't gotten any updates since his interview where he was approved; no GC in hand yet. That's why.
I wish you all the best with the AOS and job opportunity, PraetorianXI.
 
I am concerned with either one, because I was approved 7 days ago and I have not received any LUDs or emails on my I-485 or I-130. :p I need to work ASAP...

Plus everytime I call C.S. they tell me the same thing is on my online status, which is nothing new :p

Hi Praetorian

Can you tell me what was the preocedure u followed while leaveing the US and coming back to the US on AP , I mean every single step

for example

did u submit ur i-94 etc , can u please let me know

Thanks in advance
 
Steps:

1) Received AP document in the mail.
2) Bought airline tickets.
3) Packed suitcases.
4) Went to the airport.
5) Checked in (they staple my i-94 to the boarding pass).
6) Go through airport security and to my gate.
7) At the gate airline personnel scans boarding pass and take the i-94.
8) Fly to my country and enjoy 10 days there.
9) Go to airport in home country (make a copy of AP).
10) When checking in, tell airline personnel that you are traveling on AP.
11) Gave a copy of my AP to the airline personnel (they asked for it) - only a xerox copy NOT the originals!
12) Boarded plane to the US (Miami, Florida).
13) Arrived at the US (with my wife who traveled with me).
14) Approach the immigration booths together (in the USC/Residents line).
15) Our turn at immigration her passport on top of mine, with both AP original copies.
16) Answer a few questions to BCP officer (nothing out of the ordinary).
17) Sent to secondary inspection (nothing wrong, just they do not have the Parole Stamp in the booths, normal procedure).
18) Wait 30-60 minutes at secondary inspection. (Make sure you have at least 2 hours before your next flight or you may miss it! :mad:).
19) Get passport stamped and given a NEW I-94 with the parole stamp valid for 1 Year, for AOS. Also get 1 copy of the AP document stamped.
20) Run like crazy to get suitcases, go through customs and catch next flight.

They did not give me any problems at immigration, except for having to wait... it is normal I believe to be sent to secondary inspection, that is what the BCP officer at the booth told us. And even while being there, they do not ask any questions, just wait until it is your turn and they give you the passport back, with one of the AP copies stamped. They keep the other copy for their records.

The end. Is that enough? :cool:

I almost did not get in the plane, but being AA Advantage Platinum has its perks! :D

They even put us in first class! :)

BUT, BEWARE ALL TRAVELERS... Miami International Airport is a HELL hole... They are remodeling something I believe, but we had to RUN for 20+ minutes on both ways... to get from one terminal to another, so avoid that as your POE if you can :eek:
 
thanks praetorian , so while checking in from your home country did the airline staff ask any questions about the advance parole etc ??
