Urgent Travel to India

[askreddy]

Hi

My wife need to travel to india urgently. Our visa/I94 expired in Oct. We already applied 485 and is pending.

1) Will there be any issue at airpot as I94 is expired.A xerox copy of 485 receipt is sufficient.
2) Does she need to travel any path in this case( I heard thru London is issue if visa is expired.France/Amsterdam Etcc..)

Thanks in advance.

No one cares what she has on the way out. How does she plan to return? Unless AP is approved her I-485 is toast once she leaves.

How "urgent" is this travel?

No issue, because the I-485 is pending. Even without a pending I-485 or some other valid status, the issue with an expired I-94 wouldn't be at the airport when leaving, the issue would be when returning to the US.

A xerox copy of 485 receipt is sufficient.

A copy will be useless at the port of entry. Get the original.

If she doesn't have an approved Advance Parole before she leaves the US, or a valid H1 or H4 or L1 or L2 visa stamp in her passport, they won't let her reenter the US to resume the I-485 process. She would have to stay outside the US and try for consular processing.
