Travel after Applying for I -485/EAD/AP

[murthy874]

I am on H1B visa with valid stamping until Apr 25 2012.

My priority date is current now and I would be applying for i 485/ EAD and Advance parole in this week ( Jan 20-2012)

I need to travel out of US to Europe for about 2 weeks for my work and was wondering if I can travel while waiting for my EAD/AP approval.

The 485/ EAD forms have field for my latest I -94 number.

If i provide the latest one I have now ( NOv 3 2011) to apply

and in 4 weeks when i travel and come back i may have a new I-94 number.

Will having a new I-94 number create any issue?

Thank you for the response

My company atterny told me that one can travel 10 days after filing I485, AP, EAD as long as they have valid (H1b in your case) visa to return.

You are ok as long as 485 is filed before you return. You plan to use which visa at port of entry?

My lawyer has told me to stay back for a week after applying and ofcourse have a valid visa to return if needed. I think there is no strict requirement but staying back for a few days makes sure that it doesnt look like you are visiting only to apply

You can travel on H1. You should be in the country when I-485 is received, other than that, you are fine.

I actually have the same question. I need to travel to AUS for 4 weeks on business in March. I am not yet current (May 2010 PD) but if I become current in March VB, can I travel after I apply for the I485/EAD/AP? I was thinking if I travel after I485 is applied without AP approval, the application is taken as being abandoned as it is an AOS application. Is that correct?
