AP - Is it possible?

[juni 0]

I am going to state on 24th May and we are getting married on the 26th May. ( under K1 visa )

I am planning to file AOS/ AP somwhere mid June...

We are going to have a relegious ceremony back in my home country somewhere in September/October. So I will obvously need the AP by then.

Do you think it is possible?

That sounds like a feasable timescale to me. If you dont have it by then I would think you could get one at an InfoPass appointment if u have been waiting for it for a few months

I'd be a bit more cautious than that. Theoretically, your timeline seems fine, and you shouldn't have to worry. But there's no guarantee that you will have your AP in time, and an Infopass appointment will not fix that. Emergency APs are only given when an immediate family member is passing or has passed away. At least I was told that last week when I went to ATL because I am still waiting for my AP (applied for last December, approved end of April and still no AP in sight) and my wedding back at home is coming up in less than 4 weeks...More than likely, you will not have any problems though. This doesn't seem to happen too often.

I applied for my AP over 60 days ago, and it's still not here...My theory is that on the uscis website the AP is given to people who have a personal emergency or "bona fide" reasons, which means good intentions to travel... A religious ceremony is more than good intentions... I believe if you talk to the officer with the right words and the right reasons there will only be a possitive answer from their side and also it might depend on the local office, I'm in Montana and when I went to the biometrics everything seemed easy and not very busy up there.. so, I'll try my luck on tuesday at the infopass appointment for my emergency AP!!! ... I'll let you know what happens...

Good luck to you too..

Be really careful when you file your AOS to not make any mistakes. I had an RFE and that really delayed my AP, which seems to have happened with other people on this site too. I think if you don't get an RFE then your time frame is fine - if you do then it will take longer.

Thank you to everyone. All the replies are really helpful to me.

I will wait for any updates.

Thanks again.
