I have a question I and I hope someone can help me.
My husband and I got married in the US beginning of this year. 2 weeks after we married my younger sister in Germany was diagnosed with cancer. I had to rush to Germany to be a potential Bonemarrow donor. As soon we heard the news my husband and I filed for I-485,I-131,I-130 and authorization for work in the US. We were told that the advanced parole document might take two months. I made an infopass appointment with a local office in New Ark and asked if she could issue me an emergency travel document. What the officer told me was I should just have my application and a doctors note with me, and that my husband should send the adv.parole to me in Germany. He never received the adv. Parole. I tried to fly back to the states 3 weeks ago but couldn't. An officer at the airport, who works at the konsulate in Frankfurt advised me to get the adv. Parole at the konsulate, they didnt give me the document with the reasoning that I filed for everything in the states My husband also went to the local office to expedite the I-131. A few days ago my I-130 was approved but I-485 and I-131 denied. I havent gotten my fingerprints taken nor did I get the medical examination done (since I filed it in the States I have to get those done there). I am so scared that I won´t be able to go home soon. I'm a student and my semester will begin in Sept I am scared I wont be there then. Please help me. I was on a f-1 visa and it expired in June 2013 but I didn't fall out of status just had to stop the semester to come to germany. Any advise will be appreciated.

**Moderator hat off**

By leaving the US without an advanced parole document in-hand, USCIS considered the AOS application abandoned (despite what you were told at the local office).

What you will probably have to do now is complete the spousal visa process with the approved I-130.

I asked for your post to be moved to it's own topic vs hijacking this one, however I'll answer you the best I can.

Because the I-130 is approved I suggest going with the CR1 process and finishing with a consular interview in Germany. Your husband will have to request the I-130 be sent to the NVC, National Visa Center, and from there you can finish the process. Read this to inform yourself on the process: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Yes you'll most likely have to stay in Germany until the process is finished, BUT you'll arrive in the USA with a visa that will become a green card upon arrival.
