Urgent reply requested from WaitingForVSC485
I am at Boston too. I need to travel to India soon, my AOS, EAD and AP will be filed next week.
Our H1/H4 are valid till yr 2004. So, lawyer said we don't need AP approval before we travel, but we need !-485 receipt notice before we travel outside US.
Now, there's a possibility that we may not get the receipt notice so soon before my travel date. Reading your experience with INS Boston for AP was very very encouraging, so I am thinking of option of not filing AP with VSC along with my 485 and EAD, rather what if I go with AP application to Boston INS ? Will they give me AP approval on the same day as U? Does INS Boston ask for 485 receipt notice for giving AP approval? Bcoz my reason for going to INS Boston for AP is I will not have the receipt notice for 485 filing, but I need to travel to India. And what cause do I have to show to INS Boston so that they issue me AP on the same day I apply before them? I am just going to India to see my parents, and my tickets were bought from before, and those tickets are non-refundable, so I lose a lot of money if we don't go.
Would be very grateful for any help in this matter.Please reply ASAP, since my lawyer is supposed to file all 3 ie AOS, EAD and AP to VSC next week.
