Re-entry after I-485 approval while abroad

[srisathya]

Hi,
In November 2004 me, my wife and kid went to India while our I-485 is pending. I came back in Jan 2005 and my wife and kid is still there in India, in March 2005 both of our I-485’s got approved and I got it stamped on PP. My question is regarding my wife re-entry.

1. Her AP is valid till May 2005 so can she use her AP to come back or do I need to send her approval notice.
2. If she is allowed with the approval notice can she stay in India for some more time even after her AP expires?

Please advice

Thanks
Srisathya

------ She CAN use valid AP and need to be back Before May 2005 or the date before AP expires, you can mail her I-485 approval notice and if asked she should inform the POE officer that her spouse sent the I-485 and she did not know that I-485 was approved when she went out of US or I-485 was approved when she was out of US
2. If she is allowed with the approval notice can she stay in India for some more time even after her AP expires?
--NO, she should be back BEFORE AP expires

Please advice
