Question on travel while waiting for greencard
I am on H1B status and I have my AP / travel permit, so I can travel out of the country. What happens if my greencard gets approved shortly before my flight back to the US? Can I still use my H1B or AP to enter the country? (given that it takes 1-2 weeks for greencard to arrive)
thank you in advance!!

not a lawyer but in principle yes, you have to explain the issue to the officer and they let you get in. different story if they approve your green card few days before leaving the US: in this specific case you can't travel, because you have to wait your green card or get a special temperary stamp in your passport which I don't remember the name rn
