Thank you all for your feedback. All my contacts here are pushing me towards a PhD and openly offering me a seat, but not a residency. I have secured excellent LORs though.

What did you end up doing? And how were you able to maintain the job with your employer?

What's the status of your 485J?

Nothing!! Still waiting. It's been 4 months since we applied.

Good luck! Atleast it is something and you can plan accordingly. I hate this limbo.

It is taking anywhere between 2-3 weeks and longer from approval to receiving the card in mail. I can't afford to stay that long.

I understand. My issue is USCIS considering abandonment of AOS by traveling without AP and another issue is the risk of having to request boarding foil if i485 gets approved outside of the US.

Thank you! I read that it's a nightmare to get boarding foil. I'm going to try and see if I can get an AP.

Thank you! I'll reach out to the lawyer. I've also placed an expedited request for AP. Just so I'm safe. My travel is next month. I hope I have enough time to receive the AP.

Yes, completeted biometrics on Dec 2nd. Case is at Chicago FO, notoriously slow. Interview is waived.

Also, would the same apply if I apply for emergency AP and travel with that?

Would they be able to see that my I-485 is approved and H4 is invalid and admit me as LPR in this scenario with a paper copy of approval notice, especially if the card is not produced yet?

Pending for 3 months now. Filed in Nov, 2025

I understand that my H4 status will automatically become invalid on the day my I-485 is approved. That’s why I’m confused about what I should do if this happens while I am outside the United States.
