[baybiz28]

EB3 - Indian Citizen

Labor Application : Priority Date (OCT 2001)
Labor Application Approval : JAN 2004
I-140/I-485 (Concurrent filing) : APRIL 2004
1st FP - MAY 2004
Received EAD/AP - July 2004

EAD/AP Renewal - MAR 2005


JULY 7 2005 - Received an email notification I-485 approved. But never received I-485. Later after
inquiry got a letter from INS (August 2nd week) that I need to come to San francisco, Local INS office.

Checked with the lawyer, she said take all the documentation and go there.

Immigration office said after checking his system mentioned my I-485 is approved and he stamped my passport
till AUG 21 2006. He took all the EAD/AP documents.


Till now I have not received the Green Card nor the I-485 approval notice.

I went to get a new stamp, he refused to put a new stamp and he took my phone numbers and sent me back.

Any thoughts or suggestions ? Please help.

I wanted to travel to India between JULY 15 to AUG 15 2006. Is it safe to travel ?

Thanks

If your I-551 stamp in your passport is valid through August 21, then it is safe to travel up until that date. You might get referred to secondary inspection upon return, but that's just a formality where they will verify your stamp is legitimate and your case is approved. However, I would seriously consider filing a G-731 to find out where your green card is. You've been waiting way too long.

The information and process are outlined here:
