Snowflakes-TX Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I just traveled to india on emergency. My company has filed a downgrade from EB2 to EB3 with 485, EAD and AP and waiting for a receipt. I just traveled to India on a valid H1B status due to emergency and dropped my passport through dropbox. Now waiting for new visa stamp approval I am going to return to the US second week of January with a new valid stamp and h1b status. What happens to my i485 application which is pending and reciept not received yet. Please reply. Quote Link to comment
newacct Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 If the "received date" of the I-485 (which will be known when you receive the receipt) is before the date you left the US, it should be fine. The I-485 will still be pending and won't be abandoned. On the other hand, if the received date of the I-485 is after you left the US, the I-485 will be denied as you must be in the US when the I-485 is filed. You would have to file I-485 again in that case. Quote Link to comment
Snowflakes-TX Posted December 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Thank you for the reply. My I-485 was filed in the month of October last week. USCIS received my I-485 application on October 30th. I left US for emergency travel on December 9th. Reciept for the above i485 is not generated yet. I will be back to the US second week of January. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
