Time pressured AP

[danishguy 0]

Hi everybody,

I guess I'm just looking for some confirmation that everything will be okay. I filed I-130, I-485 and I-765 back on December 17th. I have received my work permit so the process is under way. However in early February I filed for a I-131 and received the notice that they had received on Feb 19th. I still haven't received it and we have already booked our tickets to go to Denmark on May 23rd. I have been checking the status online and it seems like they have touched it on 4/02/08 but I haven't heard anything. If everything goes as planned I should receive it within the 90 days and before having to leave the country. It's tight which is stupid but we couldn't afford the extra $300 when we started applying. I see on this website that the current timeline is about 65 days which has been passed and the case still says pending.

Do you have any guidance? Ways to check on the case?

Thanks,

Jonas

Since the I-131 fee is inclusive with the I-485 fee, I do not understand the "extra $300" comment...

As an aside, one would think your I-485 would be adjudicated fairly soon too in addition to the I-131....

We applied for AOS February 20th and I just received today the Advanced Parole so yours might be on its way!

The funny thing is that I received an email from Immigration on April 24th saying that they approved the work authorisation and that it has been sent to me on April 23th so it has been a real surprise to find the Advance Parole instead of work authorisation in my mail box!

I fully understand how anxious you are as we organized our religious wedding in France in the end of June (everything is booked, paid...) so I was really looking forward receiving the AP!

Good luck!

Thanks and Congrats!!

Hopefully mine is in the mail now, did yours show approved online before you received it?

Earlier today I called USCIS who told me that they are processing January 16th now but if you received yours now then they should be working on February files. However did you file in Chicago? I applied in Nebraska, do they have the same time lines...

I think that's a reference to the emergency AP cost. I've seen a few posts about some people having to pay a sort of penalty filing fee.

Nope, AP was not shown approved online. Actually I was not even able to track it online before April 24th and I succeeded doing it, it was just a touch.

I don't know how long it takes with Nebraska, we filled in Chicago and I had to redo my fingerprints so I was even more concerned because of the delay it will generate and the fact that each time I tried to add AP receipt number in my portofolio it said "error"!

Keep us informed once you receive it...

I keep my fingers crossed for you!
