booking a return flight for cheaper?

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Advance Parole (travel documents) came for Nick in 59 days after filing AOS. Lots were getting them in that timeframe, but others seemed to get hung up because they didn't get a biometrics appointment or got an RFE, most often about the Affidavit of Support for AOS. Just from reading AOS threads, it seems like the K1s in general fare better in getting it right the first time. I think those adjusting from student or work visas or VWP, haven't been on VJ learning what to do maybe. So all this time you're having to wait, you're learning some good paper filing techniques, patience, and tricks of the trade.

On the plane when they pass out landing cards, pick the white one.

Thanks for all the advice! Nath booked a round trip flight because it was cheapest. Soon enough he'll be here and never have to leave (unless we want to go on vacation together)!

Ah ok. I think we're pretty ok with the biometrics, and we'll probably prepare the AOS Affidavit of Support rather easily. It's good that he'll have the ability to travel, though I doubt we will.

Try yahoo farechase for a one way flight. It certainly was cheaper for me.

Just a note.."Biometrics" is going into the local USCIS office and getting fingerprinted and photographed. You can't go until they send you an appointment letter which is the same kind of fancy paper the NOA 1 & 2 come on. Normally that happens within 30 days of filing for AOS, EAD, and AP. But a few people don't get those appointments for some unknown reason and that holds up the AP (travel) and EAD (work authorization.)

we got a round trip for $450 from London to Cincy.

A one way was around $900 to either Columbus or Cincy, so we jumped on the $450!
