Hi All,
I contacted USCIS and they confirmed that my AP has been approved and mailed on Feb 28 2007. But I haven't received my AP yet. Can someone please help me with my questions?
1. How long does it typically take to receive the AP in mail after approval
and mailing by USCIS?
---> Normally takes 7 to 10 business days.
2. Does USCIS mail the AP to the beneficiary or to the employer's
attorney?
-----> If self filed then you should receive to your home address or if AP was applied through attorney, then they would receive it.
3. In order to use the AP for re-entry, is it true that the AP approval date
has be before the date of departure from US? Do they verify this on
re-entry?
-----> I think so. I would advice to travel after approval of AP.
4. If the AP is received in mail after I leave the US and I have it forwarded
to India, can I use it to re-enter the US? I guess at the Port of Entry,
they would only check the date of approval and not the date on which I
received it in mail. Please correct me if I wrong.
----> I would say it is safe to travel after approval of AP.
Does anyone has a clue that he/she can share with me? I would be nice to hear from someone.
Thank You
