My I-485 approved yesterday finally after getting RFE. Here are the details:

Labor - RIR, Original
I-140 - EB3, ND - 26 Sep 2003, AD - 10/13/2004
I-485 - RFE on 11/04/2004 about Birth Certificate and verification of employment from current employer
- RFE received 12/13/2004
- LUD change on I-485 12/13, 12/14, 12/15, 12/16
AD - 12/20

Meanwhile I applied one EAD and one AP which has already expired.

I have some questions. I hope some one can answer me.

1) I am on H1-B which is valid for next 8 months. I don't have AP. I am going out of country on 12/28. I am planning to get my passport stamped before I leave but it all depends on if I receive approval notice. Local office will not stamp my passport without approval notice. Is it true or can I take my chance ? What happens if I leave USA without stamp ? Any problem in getting back into USA ? Can I get passport stamped in consulate outside the USA ?

2) My wife is on H4 and her AP has been applied last week. She will be returning to USA in Mid of feb. Can she enter on H4 or she needs AP ? Also, my wife is a canadian citizen so ideally she doesn't need any visa to enter into USA. So can she enter without having H4 or AP ?
 
Christmas Gift !!

GC_SEARCH,

CONGRATULATIONS !!

Even if you receive approval letter, it may be difficult to get appointment before 28th Dec at your local office.

Enjoy !!
