Anyone get AP from Baltimore, MD or Arlington, VA offices? I have just filed I-140/485/EAD/AP on Nov 1 but need to travel on a business trip on Dec 5. Has anyone got AP from either of these offices recently (after everyone has become more strict)? My two problems are that (a) 3 months would not have passed since filing AP and (b) that its not a medical emergency. I don't have the H1 option anymore. Will it help to say that since I don't yet have EAD, I have to go out of the country and work cos what am I going to do just sitting here?
