Emergency Advance Parole Interview

[bollandista 0]

Hi Everyone

I'm new and this is my second post in as many minutes. I have been using these forums (fora?) as emotional life-support.

I have an infopass appointment for emergency advance parole tomorrow. I am a transplantee and need to receive follow up care in the UK (every hospital is different when it comes to aftercare). I have a doctors letter to this effect but I am still anxious they will deny me advance parole.

Can those who have applied in person for emergency advance parole let me know what to expect? I know this depends on the particular officer etc etc but some reassuring 'it's not that bad' would be great.

Anxiously yours,

Bollandista.

Good luck on your appointment, Bollandista. The officers were very helpful and professional when I went to request emergency AP.

Thanks! Just to reassure anyone in the same boat. They were very nice. I just gave them my doctors letter, copies of my AOS, I-131, I-130, my passport and two passport photos. They gave me a 90 day emergency advance parole then and there. They did, however, make me pay the $305 fee and it's only for 90 days. But whatever I can go home!

It sucks that they made you pay another fee, but I am glad that you got your papers!! All the best to you!

Only 90 days? Strange. Even stranger... a fee. When you applied for your AOS, did you not pay the full $1,010? Congratulations on getting the AP, though.

Oh no I paid the full $1,010. Apparently I will get another 2 year I-131 automatically. I didn't really understand why I had to pay the fee but frankly when standing before the immigration officer all my usual assertiveness dissipates. I was so afraid that they would deny me advance parole I didn't dare say anything!
