Advance Parole

[nu7015 0]

We've been waiting 11 months for AOS to be approved. Infopass last week said the namechecks are completed and biometrics completed. Our congressman representative is trying to get an answer for us to see if we can get emergency AP right now. Our local office said that we have to mail in our emergency AP request and if they approve it, we will get it in the mail in 2 weeks.

I feel so helpless and my husband is so upset. He wants and needs to be with his family now.

I know that there are some offices that approve the AP on the spot but ours will not. I hate this situation and I hate this feeling of waiting for someone else to decide if it's ok for my husband to be with his family and to attend his sister's funeral.

I'm just feeling sad and helpless...

I am so upset I posted in the wrong forum. How do I move this to the right one?

My husband got a call this morning that his sister just passed away today. We have no Advance Parole. Our local office won't do an emergency one and said we have to mail one in to Missouri and if they approve it, we may get it in 2 weeks. My husband is the only member out of his family of 12 that won't be there for the funeral.

We have been waiting 11 months for our AOS and after an infopass last week, we were told that the namechecks and biometrics have cleared and that they will approve it in time.

Our congressman's rep is trying to get AP approved for us now but is waiting to here back from CA.

I am so sad for my husband. He feels so helpless. It is so sad to see him so upset. I feel so helpless and sad too.

So sorry to hear that. They just straight out denied emergency AP? Did you have some sort of documentation from Morocco?

Sorry to hear about your loss May God be with you.

I am sorry for you and your husband...

I hope your efforts will get some AP so that your husband can be with his family.

They are really that cold huh???

Sorry to hear of your loss. I hope your congressman can help you.

I'm sorry to hear of your husband's loss

I recall a VJ member posting here with info that they were able to get an emergency AP by submitting an application in person. Perhaps your husband can make an INFOPASS appointment and bring all the pertinent documents to prove the nature of the emergency.

We tried recently to get emergency AP because his sister had surgery for cancer and they said that wasn't considered an emergency since he has other brothers and sisters there and that they don't do the emergency AP in the office. We would have to send it in to Missouri and if approved, would have it in about 2 weeks. Well, 2 weeks is too late for the funeral. So now I guess with her death it may be considered emergency but it will be too late to have it for the funeral if we have to wait 2 weeks.

You can do emergency AP at an infopass for a situation such as this. INFOPASS I've read here on VJ of the AP being issued same day for emergency situations. Although they'll want some proof or something of the emergency, so be sure to bring something with you, other than just saying what happened.

Also, please fill in your timeline

Edited: I just posted and noticed your above post, that you already tried AP. Maybe try to go to a bigger USCIS office to schedule the infopass. I know that like in Chicago infopass can be done at various offices, but only 1 downtown location has authorization to issue an emergency AP.

So I guess with her death, they may consider it emergency enough, however, they don't do approvals in the office and we have to mail it to Missouri and we may get it in about 2 weeks. 2 weeks is too late to make if for the funeral.

I hate this.
