Docs required for entry on AP?

[aaifor]

Hi,
We are departing on Thu for an overseas trip. My wife would be coming back to the US using AP (approved) in Feb 4th week.

(She is dependent on my employment based I-485. My GC was approved in July 2007 and hers is still pending.)

Can you please add to the list below for required docs for entry on AP?

1) I-485 filing receipt
2) Approved and valid AP
3) Passport


PS: Our kid (USC) is accompanying us - proof of marriageD)
Thank you.

She legally only needs the second two items but having all three will probably make it easier.

You will be eligible for citizenship next year, assuming you don't have excessive travel or criminal history that would disqualify you.

Be aware that once you become a citizen, your wife's I-485 will be canceled if it's still pending, due to a quirk in the law that invalidates derivative I-485 cases if the primary becomes a citizen. So if her green card still isn't approved if/when you are going through the naturalization process, make sure she is inside the US when you are about to take the oath, so you can immediately file a marriage-based I-130 and I-485 for her. Otherwise she would be stuck outside the US for several months, waiting for an immigrant visa.
