gurus,

my I-485 was approved and i received the approval notice.
i need to travel to India in another 10 days. Can i use Advance Parole for Re-entry purposes ? - or DO I MANDATORILY NEED a temporary stamp on my passport ?

(i have got an infopass appointment to meet with an immigration officer this week - question here is - will he issue the I-551 temporary stamp right away on the same day or is it something they'll hold the passport for a week or something or will he turn be back saying that i have to wait for further info from USCIS).

my interpretation always has been that - Advance Parole is used for situations exactly like this -but could any of u shed light on the fact whether Advance Parole is valid for me anymore for re-entry purposes?

please share your thoughts --- thanks very much in advance.
 
I would think you could use AP but I would just get the passport stamped instead. The passport is returned on the same day(its just a process which takes 15-20 mins if you have an appointment)
 
Mj23,

The day USCIS approves your application you become a PR and your AP and EAD all become void in USCIS world.

You have already received the approval notice...so you cannot finge ignorance about your approval. Do not risk travelling out of the country without a stamp on your PP. The PP is stamped in front of you...officers will check everything while you wait.
 
Hi, gurus,

My 485 (RD: 7/21/04) has not been approved yet. I will travel to my home country next week. Besides my passport and AP, what other documents do I have to take with me? What if my 485 is approved while I am out of the country, can I still come back with my AP? Thanks.

Hope
