hmmmm...talk to another uscis supervisor and see what story this person tells you. Then you can decide if you want to trust them or not; my experience tells me that they don't even know their own policies----let alone the policies of other agencies.

Have you checked with the USCIS and Consulate in Bangkok? She may be able to get help there.

$1010.00 filling fee in january I will lose it. I think we will start paper work over. I am not sure what will happen if we try to come back in again. I get alot of diffferent answers, and seems no one has ever heard of them letting someone back with expired visa. she left feb 28th visa expired 3/7/8

She went to the embassy and to uscis in bkk. I was first told to get a transportation letter when I called uscis before I went and talked to someone in person, They said she can not get one you must already have a green card for that

Ok.

This is a long shot, but I would give this a try.

I would make an Infopass appointment. I would plead the case that her adjustment had been filed and an Advance Parole document should be in the works for her.

Or - you could try an attorney consult and have that attorney make that inquiry for you.

On second thought - you might want to inquire of an attorney before you make an Infopass appointment. I am wondering if it could be legal at all if she waited it out in her home country until her Advance Parole arrives at your residence, then you mail it to her and she enter on it.

Hindsight is 20/20, but it's a shame you didn't go for Emergency AP before she left. As the adjustment had already been filed, they would have granted it for sure. It's because of this fact that I'm wondering if there is a possible 'loophole' for you. But you may need legal assistance to access it.

since the K-1 is a one use visa it became "void" the moment she used it regardless of the expiration date...

The other question I had is the USCIS supervisor's experience may have been pre- 9/11... I cannot imagine letting someone in with improper documentation post that date...

[Otto 83]

I would have serious doubts about reentry (LAX or elsewhere) with her current documentation - there would very likely have to be some sort of intervention to get her some sort of re-entry permit - that would be doubtful through traditional channels (i.e., USCIS) ..

edited to add...

Along with some of the other suggestions posted, this would certainly be an occasion to enlist the help of an elected official (Senator/Representative)...

Doesn't matter, she left without the AP in hand, which is required.

Or - you could try an attorney consult and have that attorney make that inquiry for you.

Same outcome as above probably, but you will pay for that privilage.

On second thought - you might want to inquire of an attorney before you make an Infopass appointment. I am wondering if it could be legal at all if she waited it out in her home country until her Advance Parole arrives at your residence, then you mail it to her and she enter on it.

It would not be "legal", she left before the AP was approved, she is in the system as leaving, her passport will show the stamps being out of sequence.

No loopholes I know of, that are "legal"
