Can I Travel As soon as Interview is APproved?

My husband and I are scheduled for interview on November 29! I am nervous and excited at the same time!

I have my AP, but am scared to travel out of the country since I overstayed more than 120 days.

Now if after the interview my passport gets stamped and I get approved verbally, would it be safe to travel even though the physical green card isnt with me yet? The reason I ask is my husband and I SO want to go to the Philippines (where my family is) for Christmas!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Once they stamp your passport with the temporary green card, its good as a physical green card. I can assure you that once your interview is done with no issues, you will get your physical green card within ten days.
Good Luck & Salamat

thats stamp is proof of approved status .... u can travel on it ...without any problem .... ( i did as well when i got mine 2006 without any problem ) ...

An overstay of 180 days or more is the key. What is your number? If it is between 120 and 180, you can still use your AP document.
