回复:今天递了485&140申请,不打算申请AP。10月底回
not sure about this.
What I heard was that USCIS treats that you give up your 485 if I leave US without AP approved.
you do not have to use your AP but you need to have your AP approved before you leave US.
this is why AP is called "请假证"
suggest that you consult a attorney about this.
