Hi, My I 485 RD is 09/20/01. My advance parole is expiring 11/30/02. My questions is:

1. I'm planning to go back to my country during from October 1st to November 15th, at the same time, my I 485 is very likely to be approved during this period. Can I still come back using my advance parole?

2. Second, if I can't come back by November 30th, does not mean I can't come back to U.S.A any more or INS will send the green card automatically without stamping to my home so that my relative can send it to me through mail and I can come back with it?

3. If my I 485 get approved by the time I leave America, do I have to do the stamping or I can wait until I come back if I don't have time to get the samping done before I leave?

4. Does the real green card relate to the stamping? what the use of stamping?

thanks and any info will be highly appreciated!

-- you can come back before the expiry of your AP


2. Second, if I can't come back by November 30th, does not mean I can't come back to U.S.A any more or INS will send the green card automatically without stamping to my home so that my relative can send it to me through mail and I can come back with it?


-- Its better to come back before expiry. In case if you can't come back then you have to show some extraordinary circumstances for which you could not return in time and apply for (I guess) travel permit from the US embassy in your country with all the supporting documentation (I had rather come back in time).


3. If my I 485 get approved by the time I leave America, do I have to do the stamping or I can wait until I come back if I don't have time to get the samping done before I leave?

-- You can get the stamping done after coming back.. BUT WHY???
I would travel after getting the stamping done. No Matter What..

4. Does the real green card relate to the stamping? what the use of stamping?

-- Permanent residence stamp in your passport is valid for a year and serves as your green card till you get your card.

The bottom line is if you get approval before you leave then get the stamping done before you go, if you do not get the approval then come back before your AP expires.
