What happens if an I-485 cases was approved while the applicant is overseas? Do they have a certain period in which they have to enter the US? Can the GC be delivered to them by a relative member and they can enter with it?
Thanks!
Even i was thinking along that line....but this is from my attorney.
No, you cant use your GC card to sent to overseas, and then use to enter.
YOu should enter with mean you left the country - means if you have AP then enter the country with your AP before its expiration, or any VISA stamping. I believe if your GC is approved then you cant use any of your VISA. In that case you could only use your AP to enter.
Check with your attorney for more clarification.
Thanks for your reply goodphysq. If the AOS gets approved while outside the US, do you have a specific time limit to enter? Or is it before the AP expires? Can you extend the AP from overseas?
I have just contacted my lawyer on this issue, and he said that you have to enter using the GC to establish your residency.
Now it is confusing!
