I-131, file before Biometrics or after?

[billykk 0]

Mom's I-485 is pending right now, biometrics scheduled on July 25th. When she submit her applications, she did not submit I-131 for advance parole, now she has some business to take care abroad, needs to leave for a few weeks. I checked the I-131 instruction for her and it still needs biometrics done, since her biometrics appointment is days away, should we file I-131 before or after bio? Also, what documents need to be sent with I-131? From what I read in USCIS website, she needs a copy of I-797C NOA to show she paid the fee for I-485 so she does not need to pay for I-131 again, and a copy of her current passport, that's it? The address to send is: USCIS, P.O Box 805887, Chicago, IL 60680-4120. Anyone has similiar experience?

I-131 takes 60-90 days to process and is valid for one year after issuance... include proof of I-485 filing and no fee is required

Also will add, if it's a true emergency - she can make an infopass and get one right away.

(I would do it after the biometrics)
