Dear Gurus,
Your valuable suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I came to US on H4 visa and then applied for my masters, got my F1 visa stamped from Mexico in year 2003. I recently applied my adjustment of Status(I485) as a derivative adjustment. I am planning to travel overseas next month. My AP & EAD got approved yesterday.
My question is :
1) Can I travel next month using AP?? If so what will be my status (F1 or AOS). I guess F1 is a pure non-immigrant status and once we apply for AOS then F1 status is violated. Is it true & will this create any problem at the port of entry??
2) Will I need to take a new I 20 before leaving the country and then enter on F1 or do I need to enter on AP. What documents I need to show at the port of entry?
Will there be any legal complications on my status if I travel now when my status is pending. Will greatly appreciate if you can respond to my queries. Thanks.
