Funds were not refunded (as with any app filed with USCIS). second time i requested multiple entry AP for greater time frame. This time i requested 6 months and that is what i was given. First time i only received 30 days.

Def get the letter from employer. Show proof of yoru employment with them. Show info about your needs to travel (meeting, vendors, clients, etc). you can request to expedite but it is a case by case decision. My first app was expedited and i received document withing 2 weeks. Second one they did not expedite (same app same reason) and i received doc within 4 weeks.

Make sure you check with Canada CIC to see if you need visa to travel there or not. Keep in mind that process (obtaining visa) can take up to 6 weeks. sure it can be expedited, but they require the AP from USCIS. Both must be coordinated together and filed well in advance of your travels.

Good luck and feel free to ask away.

For your multiple entry AP, did the text read "for multiple entries?" As per a new memorandum, you can actually ask for multiple entry for the duration of your EAD...
