If you hold a green card and know in advance that you must be outside the United States for more than one year, it's worth applying to USCIS for a reentry permit (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-46E25CCD-3076-4CAE-B8909FA9BFF73FEA.html). This lets you to stay away for up to two years.
You should send in your application before leaving. Your reentry permit will serve as an entry document when you are ready to return. Reentry permits cannot be renewed and can be applied for only inside the United States. If you want to stay away for more than two years, you must return briefly and apply for another reentry permit.
The Nebraska Service Center (NSC) of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued an advisement in June 2009 regarding a change in procedures related to requests for rescheduling biometrics (fingerprinting) appointments for applications for reentry permits. The NSC has advised that all applications for reentry permits will be denied if the fingerprinting is not completed within 120 days of filing. The procedures for requesting expedited fingerprinting have not changed. I assume this is due to fact that many Green Card holders living abroad were trying to apply for the permit from overseas. In order to stp the practice, USCIS is trying to impose the strict biometrics schedule to make sure applicants apply form inside the US.
Applicants either have to appear at their scheduled appointments or request to be rescheduled. This request must occur before the appointment date. A request for rescheduling must be accompanied by a reasonable excuse for the inability to appear for the scheduled appointment. Rescheduled appointments are set within a maximum 30-day timeframe. Applicants should plan their travel accordingly, as the announcement is absolute with respect to the 30-day timeframe.
Here is a good tip to avoid one's green card being considered automatically abandoned under law, it is important to return within one year, at the latest.

Folks,
How long does it takes to get an Advanced Parole documents after filing I485?
Will it be safe to file I485 and AP/EAD if I am planning to go to India in next 4 or 5 months?
Thanks
Contributed $ 200
I gues with iin 2 months for AP. but i don't know in current scenario with lot of applications. There is no harm in filing AP & EAD with 485. Even if you get them you can use it or not choice is yours. but if you use EAD h1/H4 will be invalid and you have to come back in AP. Also if you come in AP then your H1/h4 will be invalid you have to use EAD.
I think 4-5 months is decent time to get AP. But with current volume I am not sure.

This USCIS fiasco seems to have more twists than Anna Nicole Smith case.
Here is new father of the fiasco:
http://www.immigration-law.com/
07/12/2007: Truth to Rumor of Resrictionist Senators Having Influenced USCIS Decision of July 2007 EB New Filing
There is an unconfirmed source of information that a couple of restrictionist U.S. Senators influenced the USCIS decision to reject July applications for their alleged fear that since July 2007 Visa Bulletin would open a flood gate of hundreds of thousands of 485 applications, the public might take it as the government giving out a sort of "amnesty" to these floods of people. We hope that there is no truth to such rumor. However, if it is true, it is indeed shocking that individual legislators could interfere with the government process on "personal" basis and without the formal legislative process of public notice and participation. We urge the U.S. Senate to get to the bottom of this rumor and take appropriate action for correction under the Senate rules.

We are a few hours away from the biggest Awards ceremony in Hollywood and the world. So what part do Immigrants play in the biggest show on earth? Talent is the one universal passport, and Hollywood has always had a place for immigrants � from German maestro Fritz Lang, who headed west when Hitler's minister of propaganda pressured him to take over Germany's top studio, to Polish Roman Polanski, who directed Los Angeles' definitive film noir, "Chinatown," and Taiwan-born Ang Lee, who became the first nonwhite to win an Academy Award for directing for "Brokeback Mountain," his reinvention of the western.
As Hollywood tries to stave off commercial stasis, the industry has been undergoing another chapter in its love affair with foreign writers and directors, particularly those from the Far East and Latin America. The international box office now accounts for more than 60% of a film's box office gross.
Of course, in this age of globalization, it's unclear what it even means to be a Hollywood immigrant anymore. "It doesn't matter where you live," says Paramount Classics chief John Lesher. "We all talk on the phone. We see each other at film festivals. You can edit a movie in Brazil, and your editor can be in London, and you can put it together seamlessly in perfect time."
So for Oscars 2010 we will not able to determine again who is an immigrant and who is not, an honestly who cares. What we want to know is who will win tonight.
For as lacking in suspense as the acting races are, the contest for the biggest prize couldn't be any closer. It's David vs. Goliath here, with 'Hurt Locker' and 'Avatar' seemingly trading "favorite" status every other day.
Unless they somehow split the votes and the Weinstein-backed 'Basterds' revises more history with an upset, the Oscar will go to either the highest-grossing Best Picture winner ever, or the lowest (in half a century, anyway). Be warned: This one is flip-a-coin close. Enjoy the Oscars tonight!!!!

Here are a couple of videos from the Milpitas meeting.
It's really important that we all make our best efforts to attend the DC rally. Our life, and those of our children and families, depend on this.
Are you prepared to live for the next 10-15 years on EADs and AP? Ready to renew those every year? Limit your career growth and job prospects? Limit what you can and cannot do? Limit the raises you can get?
There's no reason to be scared to attend the rally. Leading immigration attorney Sheila Murthy supports IV and the DC rally, and encourages all those who are affected to attend.

Isn't it a violation of the law, if NO reason is given while denying the 485?
The only recent case I have seen on IV was where the member got a NOID stating that the 140 was withdrawn/revoked.
So, here, a reason WAS given.
Of course, the reason might have been incorrect, as the poster seemed to think.

Hi,
If 4 months after 485 filed, I leave my job. Can I use EAD to work for another company? My wife also has 485 filed, so I can use her to renew my EAD if I need to.
I'm assuming you both have filed 2 I-1485 and 2 EAD each. Based on your I-485, it's safe to change job only after 180 days of I-485 receipt date. You can change after 4 months but if for some reason your I-140 get revoked you are screwed. Same thing if you use the EAD obtained using your wife's 485. If you change your job before 6 months but use your wife's EAD and later on your company revoke your I-140, your I-1485 application is screwed up but you will stil be in status if your wife 485 is fine.
Again, there is risk involved with such a peculiar cases and you might get NOD. I've seen one such case in IV where husband got a rfe on wife's I-485 even though he withdrew his application long back. But that case has some other issues as well so it all depends on case-to-case.
Moral of the story is, if it is not a do or die situation, keep your case as simple as possible and switch job only after 6 months of 485.
Please close this thread also as there are several threads with similar questions.
