AOS and AP emergency

[Martin + Amie 0]

Hi Guys,

I am currently waiting for AOS (I Filed on the 26th of Nov 2007) and looks like i wont get my AP for a while. My father back in London is hospitalized as he has parkinson's disease and the medication he was taking affects him so bad he cant even walk. My question is the following :

Can i get AP early for an emergency such as this? If so how do I go about it? I really need to go back to London for a week or two and see him if something were to happen and dont know what to do.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Get any information you can about your fathers hospitalization and do an infopass, and you can get an emergency AP on the spot. These are rarely given out, so have proof of the medical emergency. Bring in a copy of your AOS filing to prove you already paid the fee.

Has anyone had success doing this before?

Yes you can get emergency AP for medical reasons, you need to provide evidence of the emergency, when you attend an INFO-Pass appointment.

Don't leave the USA without AP.

I have read many posts where people have got AP from their local USCIS office, even some without an emergency.

Can someone tell me what constitutes a medical emergency?

He has been released from hospital now but I still want to go back though because this has happened 4 times in the space of a year.

Is the fact that he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease good enough reason?

I would asume not, but you can only try with what evidence you have.

As to what constitutes a medical emergency will depend on the officer taking in the request to grant an emergency AP. I'd say take the papers of him being in admitted to the hospital, explain the situation that he's been hospitalized several times recently.

I just got my family to send me all the paperwork he receieved from his doctor and neurologist which states that he had been admitted to A&E 4 times in a month along with other letters explaining the diagnosis of parkinson's, his dizziness and serve muscle pains.

I made an info pass appointment for 7.45am tommorrow and will see what happens.

Good luck! Let us know.

SUCCESS! I got issued advance parole. The paperwork from the hospital worked and they issued me a travel document. I worked with the nicest lady who processed me in less than an hour an a half. I had to run out and get two passport photographs though and come back in so anyone applying for emergency parole DONT FORGET TO BRING PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS!

I am ecstatic and happy there is a procedure for situations like my own. Ten points for the immigration service!

Best of luck to anyone doing what i did.
