When to apply for AP?

My ND is May, 2000. FP was done in Oct, 2000. I need to go to India for a month in June/July. I have plenty of time on my H1, and haven\'t applied for AP yet. My local INS office (Norfolk, VA) tells me they need a month to issue an AP. So I\'ll be fine if I apply in May, 2000, if I don\'t get my approval by then.

Am I being too optimistic here? Should I play safe and assume that my approval will not come by May, and go ahead and apply for AP right now? I\'m in education [EB1 OR] and am doing it without any lawyer. Thanks.
 
No Title

You can apply AP any time after you file 485. The AP is valid for one year. Why not apply ASAP rather than going through last minute tensions
