I am looking for some opinions here. My wife applied for AP in Sept last year and it was apporved 28th january. Despite sending in an Ar-11 and including a copy of the address change with the RFE we received for her AP, they sent the appoval notice to our old address. She was on a H4 but has been using her EAD to run a party plan sales business (self employed).

We have been talking to NSC, our lawyers and senators office, and there combined wisdom was well you will have to apply again. This we did and requested that the NSC expedite our case. This was 1 and 1/2 weeks ago. From what I am being told by the senators staff is that it was expedited for security clearance and as of Thursday last was with an officer. I am still hopeful that they will approve by Wed, but that is looking less likely.

My question is based on the original approval is it safe for her to leave the country? From what I see they do not ask to see the AP on departure. She is not due to come back until April 9th, but I have begun to prepare her for a longer stay if nessesary to wait until the 2nd AP arrives. Is this a safe strategy to pursue.
 
Hi,
I am also in similar situtation my wife needs to travel to India
when her AP is pending, she is ready to wait until the AP gets
approved, is it safe to leave the country when AP and EAD are pending.

how many days does it take to get AP approved in Vermont?
regards,
VG
 
Late Breaking News

We hear from NSC that the original document was found and was mailed out on Friday 7th March. We should be ok.

In response to your question, from what I can see if you leave the country without the AP in hand, you are at risk of being considered to have abandoned your perminant residence petition. Don't risk it if you can avoid it.
 
Good news paul!!

That must be a relief. No wonder we did not see your familiar last week @ ..... analysis. I have updated the figures on your xls projection and the dates look better.. and now we have this new freeze. I hope we can soon put a freeze on bad news. Take Care.
 
Actually I did post my last week analysis

I did post my last week analysis after I got the good news. I was told my a staffer in Senator Ron Wydens office that NSC was having some production problems with approvals. I hope they are short lived.
