My wac # 02-089-5****
ND,RD is 1/17/02
JIT date 12/16/01
AP expires 03/11/04
My lawyer asked me if I wanted to apply AP renewal since it would take around 6 months. My company says since it is your personal travel, you apply. The legal expenses for AP renewal are about 1300 dollars. And I am planning to travel to India in December. Now my questions are,
1. Should I wait for GC approval since it is very optimistic that it will get processed soon, may be... and not apply for AP since it is very expensive and after applying if I get GC, the money spent is gone with the wind....?????? This question arises after looking at the information in JIT and news that in October BCIS trying to clear AOS applications etc
2. If I do not get GC by March of '04, I will still need AP just to keep, since useful in case emergency travel. If I do not apply now, it won't come in 6 months, then I will have problems. So should I apply now????? and if I apply and keep the receipt, atleast I can go and get AP in local BCIS.
3. When do you think I can get my GC, pessimistic and optimistic predictions, any?
Please advise me.
Thanks,
SreeRaj
