Can I travel with advance parole after I485 approval?
My I 485 got approved a few days ago while I would like to travel soon before I can get the physical green card. I do have EAD with advance parole and should receive I485 approval notice before I leave. Is that true that I can use advance parole and approval notice to enter US?

I subscribed and used this great app. I first knew my approval status via LAWFULLY. My recommendation is to subscribe and trust this app for your immigration matter.

How long does it take to get feedback for concurrent filling
I filed I-130, I-130A, I-131, I-485, I-765 at the same time together with other required documents and sent them to the uscis lockbox in Chicago as stated on their website. I haven’t received any receipt notification, I sent with the packet, form G-1450 credit card authorization form and also included a form G-1145 which asks uscis to send me a notification when they got the packet, however I don’t know how long it usually takes to get a notification of receipt but this is the second / third week now……. my usps tracking says delivered though. any advice?

A Happy Ending
After 677 days of waiting, we have been approved - just 9 days after celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. We kept the worst-case scenario in the back of our minds for years, but we can finally breathe a little and plan our life.
Good luck to everyone still waiting & stay hopeful. It is easy to be discouraged seeing others have very different timelines from your own, but everything works out the way it is meant to.

F-1 visa for PhD
I am an Indian citizen currently residing in India. I already have an approved I-140 under the NIW category. I have been admitted to a PhD program in a STEM field at a reputed university in the United States. Can I apply for an F-1 visa from India? What are the chances of my F-1 visa being approved in this situation?
