Hi Friends,
Today, in China, somebody stole my bag. Bag contained passport, advance parole and all critical documents.
Background: I am nearing my six years of H1. My I 485 was filed in April, 03. I have received EAD (not used) and Advance Parole. I went to China in October ¡¯03 and returned to US on AP without any problem. I am revisiting China currently (November ¡¯03) and schedule to return to US around January 15th after visiting India (country of citizenship).
Since I do not have AP with me, I am wondering if
1) I can get AP while I am out of US.
2) If I can get AP, where and how should I apply?
3) Do I need to apply in China or India?
4) If I cannot get AP, what are my options? I do not have H1 B visa stamp in my passport as I was on H1 status (converted from B1). The passport which contains B1 stamp has expired 3 years ago and that passport is also lost today.
I have copies of all my documents. Please suggest what can be done.
Sincerely,
Manmit
