回复：new AP application and the old one

Somebody mentioned that my current AP is not valid any more once I apply for a new AP. Is that true?
-Not true.

My current AP will expire on Nov. 11. I filed a new AP application last week. Now I want to go back to China within October. So it really concens me if I can use the current AP, while the new application is still under process.
-Yes, you can use your current AP, but you need to come back before this AP expires. Also, your pending AP application will be invalid if you leave US before it is approved.
