A few days ago I was telling to my mother and some others that it might take at least a month until I will receive notice about my employment authorization document and my (emergency)travel document (advance parole), and what do you think? I just received two emails with the following announcements from the USCIS:

Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Approval notice sent.

and:

Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
Current Status: Card production ordered.

So, in other words: I will receive a card soon which I can use to work and make money and I will also receive a letter (I think at least that it is a letter) which I can use during my adjustment of status to leave the country whenever it is needed. The latter is, by the way, not something which you can use for holidays (it depends how you look at it because some do it but I rather be sure) but something you can use to go to your old country whenever there is an emergency (for example when there is a close relative in the hospital) and still be able to get back into the United States for as long as you are waiting for your adjustment of status.

Now the only thing left is my permanent resident status, or my greencard, I will be able to say goodbye to these two items when I receive that as you can travel and work without problems when you have your permanent residency card.

So we made another step into the right direction, hopefully I will receive my greencard in a couple of months and then I wont have to worry if I can stay or not since, believe me, I am quite worried about the outcome of the greencard.
