Wifey and I are thinking of traveling to Europe for a vacation. We plan for March 2007. I am currently awaiting my interview at Jan 2007.

I didn't file the I-131 form cuz I wasn't planning on traveling then. Do you think I will have trouble getting back into the country??
 
Nobody can answer that question. You may be stuck in name check after your interview. If that happens, and you don't hold a valid immigrant visa, you will most certainly need AP to re-enter the US.

YOu need some sort of document(visa/AP/I-551, etc) to enter the US no matter what.
It all depends on how your interview goes, so... at this moment, no body can answer your question for sure(I actually could not understand what you want to know).

If all goes well with your interview and you are approved,you should befine. If yur passport is stamped at the time of interview. Sometimes the officer doesn't stamp it right away (I have read some cases on this forum) so make sure to ask if they don't do it. 2 months time is enough time to get your green card but one never knows till it happens. Like they say in the US"

"IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS" :p

WHO TOLD YOU THAT. :eek: THE INSTRUCTIONS TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN FILE ALL THE FILES CONCURRENTLY. SOMETIMES PEOPLE GIVE ADVICE THAT IS NOT THE BEST. WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU WAS YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND SUBMIT APPLICATION MISSING A DOCUMENT OR WHATEVER BUT THAT YOU WILL GET A RFE AND IT WILL DELAY THE PROCESSING. :o
 
@inquisitor- Am very legal. Currently on a H-1B valid til 2008. Am still working under my H-1b visa.

Dat is a valid reentry visa.

@GotPR- what i want to know is whether I need AP to go on vacation to Europe in march 2007 while I have a valid H-1B visa and currently waiting for my green card at that point.

I would think that name check is irrelevant because I still have the H-1b visa that allows for reentry right?

@Neshawn- I figured I would have everything I need by then but I want to be sure. I can't be sending my passport of to get a visa if I need it for my interview right?
 
If you have valid H1 stamp and valid H1 employment(and never used EAD), you can use H1 to enter provided your I-485 does not get approved before the travel.

Ha Ha doc. You are a real riot. :p No, I was not. I was responding to Heretic response. I looked at his timeline and saw where he got the RFE for his 1-693 an he stated that he was told that he could file it later. So I was addressing that. :rolleyes:

This is his timeline: (Please note info about I-693)

Ah ok, got it. Unfortunately that advice came from an incompetent IO I reached at the NCSC 800 number. She had an air of confidence, so I followed her instructions. Oh well, at least it doesn't seem to have slowed my case down too much. :)

However, basing this on the past appointment issuance posted on this site and following the USCIS Processing Dates, if appears as if if you hadn't gotten that RFE that you would have gotten an interview within 30 days after FP was taken which would have been in Nov. and interview would probaly be determined by now. :o Quite possibly before you even got your AP approved. (Just an estimation; I am not a professional and most definitely not a fortune teller :eek: ) That is 'water under the bridge' now, (so to speak) :p but anyway you will come out of this just fine. Hang in there.
 
If you keep your H1B job and status (you can't even work for anybody else with EAD, if you have one), then you can leave and re-enter the country as much as you want while AOS is pending.
Enjoy your trip.
