Travel plans under L1 visa while Adjustment of Status is in process

Hi everyone,

I’m a L-1a visa holder and I filed 2 weeks ago the I-485/I-130 forms as the husband of a US citizen. I’ve also applied for Advanced Parole and an EAD, and I’ve read that I can still travel under my L1 visa and that it would not impact my I-485 application. I’ve planned to travel to Europe to go see my family at the end of December and re-enter in the US under my L1 visa as the husband of a US citizen (my wife will be travelling with me). However I am nervous as I wonder if the whole Covid/travel ban situation could potentially have an impact on this, and my travel plans jeopardize my Adjustment of Status application.

I consulted with an immigration lawyer who encouraged me not to travel saying that the uncertainty was too high and that I should wait to obtain my EAD/AP documents before travelling... My experience with lawyers are that they always tell you the worst but on paper, I feel like my case is straightforward and the L1 visa allows you to travel while your AOS is in process. I’d love to get your advice on this and if anyone have been in that case as well.

Thanks a lot!

NVC Case FE Review note

The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
