K1 filing for advance parole before filing AOS

[rrylee 0]

Hi all,

My wife (who came to the U.S. on a K1) and I have a limited time window coming up (May/June) in which we can travel outside the U.S. and we want to take our honeymoon.

We had planned to file for both AOS and advance parole at the same time, but now we have a delay on the AOS filing. We are waiting on a replacement petition approval notice (the old NOA-2 from the K1 process -- I never got that and it seems it is needed now).

I'm concerned that it will be a month or more before we get a copy of that NOA-2 and that this will set back out advance parole application. Can we just go ahead and apply for the AP now or must we have filed for the AOS already?

Thoughts?

you can only file for AP with or after you file for AOS.....

Hi, I'm trying to find out the same info. I do know there are 'special' circumstances where you can apply for AP before applying for AOS. Just trying to find out where to find this out I will get my fiance on Stateside to check with a district office there. If you hear of anything please let me know.......thanks.......{{{{HUGS}}}

Being eligible to be granted AP is dependant on your "pending adjustment" status. So no, you can't file for AP without filing for AOS.
