If you are awaiting your green card, you should NOT travel and expect to return on a visa. If you travel, it could void a pending case simply by departing. Further inquiry is necessary until this is cleared up. Were you my client, I'd be going to the immigration service office monthly until the case is decided.

The above is not legal advice. It is general information. It does not form an attorney client relationship. For further information you may contact me at 818 609 1953 or [email protected].
