Hello,

I received my US citizenship in Aug 2009. I got married to my girlfriend in Dec 2009
We filed I130 application in Dec. We received the I 130 receipt on 13th Jan 2010

My wife is on F1 Visa, (valid till 2012)
We have to travel to India in month of June.
Can we travel while I 130 is pending?
If not what are my options? I made a mistake of not filing I485 together with I130, but I am hoping I have some way to address the situation.

Please share your thoughts

Best Regards

you can file for her AOS now and get an advance parole. Do not travel without AP.

she may not be let back into the US on her F-1 with I-130 filed for her.
 
Thanks for the reply. So I should file I485 and also request advance parole right?
Can I file I485 and Advance parole together?

Fellows,

I just checked the status online for the I130 application, it seems it is approved already see below:

On March 16, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

So I guess I should wait for the approval letter and then file for I485 and AP is it?
