expedite AP process

[Luiz /Priscilla 0]

We have applied for AP (together with I-485).

The AP should be issued on middle April.

My wife is pregnant and she is having problems with the pregnancy, and we don't have health insurance here, but she has health insurance in Brazil. She needs to go back to Brazil sooner than middle April.

How can we expedite our AP process?

We first tried doing ours at the uscis local office thru an infopass appt. The clerk there said it needed to be mailed and he couldnt do anything about it.

Then we called thru the phone and spoke to 3 different clerks, and on the last call, we got the process to be expedited. We did it on a friday, and had it on our hands the saturday of the week after, so we waited for it about 6 days....

So my thoughts to you would be, try getting an appt at your local office. Depending where you live, you might get one tomorrow or the day after. If you want to wait to see what the clerk tells you, then go there and try your luck. Some members on the forum have gotten it at their local office in person. We tried, but we failed that way. Otherwise, call the uscis and even if youre told you cannot do it on the phone, keep calling until you get a competent clerk that can do it for you.

here is our post on the subject:

I have tried your instructions (phone call). But my process isn't entered as yet (receipt date: January 26, 2008).

I have scheduled an infopass for this coming 3/12.

What do you mean it hasnt been entered yet?

Did you go thru all the menus, and did you get a clerk on the phone?

Dont give up too easily cause you can end up at the local office with a clerk that is clueless and useless.

When I enter the receipt number (MSC #), the recording tells me that can't find the case.

I apologize for the silly question, but you put the msc as 672, correct? Cause i know when my wife was calling she was ignoring the msc, and was entering the case number without it, and of course, couldnt get thru.... Also, can you pull up the case on the uscis website?

Yes I did (672), and also I couldn't check online the status of the process (same reason, couldn't find the process).

Sorry to hear that...now, when the computerized message tells you that it cannot find the case, what happens after that? Does it give you a bunch of other menus, or does the call end?

Doesn't give me the option to speak with a live person

right, but what i asked was, does it give you other options? You will not have that option right from there to speak with a live person...

so again...when the automated voice says that it cannot find the case---What is next? Do you get other menus?

If you get menus, then listen to them because there should be an option that will say:

to report a problem with your case....select such and such number ( i think it was option 3)

then again you will hear more menus, and from there I believe you select advance parole which is 6...

and then more menus...honestly, at some point we were writing them down because it was insane how many menus you get....

Depending on how far along she is in her pregnancy, I would put that in consideration.

There are other alternatives to care, that are "free" or low cost.

Have you exhausted all those resources?

[Luiz /Priscilla 0]

She is 9 weeks pregnant, and the placenta got partially detached. We don't have health insurance and I can't be with her all the time. Her mother is nurse, and she is retired.

I can go back to the main menu....

No.

The agent there told that we have to apply by mail to BCIS (MO), but we can't do without the case been enteret in to the computer.
