HI All,
Our cases (NOv 22) were finally approved on Aug 22 according to online status. However, we are currently on the oversea vacation. We have valid AP, but wondering if we can still use AP to re-enter the US when I-485 were approved. Anyone has experience on this? What should we be aware in front of the immigration officer? Pretend we don't know the I-485 were approved?
For those interested, here is my details:
1). Notice date: Nov 22, 2002
2). Fp1 done on Jan 06 2003, online status never updated after fp1 was done
3). received fp2 notice in May, 2004, completed fp2 ahead of schedule in Jun 3.
4). online status never updated for fp2 notice or fp2 status.
5). LUD never changed until Jul 19 when status changed to our fp1 (not fp2) received and processing resumed
6). same employer, never changed address
7). lud changed again on Aug 23, saying approved.
8). Never done any special to speed up the case.
My experience is to let the system go by itself, unless you really think something is wrong (for example, you nd has passed the processing date), maybe you can take some action at that time. I personally strongly against monitoring LUD, I think that is stupid, not going to buy you anything.
Good Luck to everyone who is still waiting, just be patient, and your day is coming.
Thanks.
