Emergency Parole?

[AdamNewfoundland 0]

Hey, guys!

So, I got my I-797Cs (Notice of Action) for my I-130, I-485, I-131 and I-765, saying that I'm in process now.

I have a trip home to Newfoundland planned for March 30 - April 5 (to visit my grandmother who broke her hip and work on wedding details), but there's no way my AP will get here in time. My aunt is faxing down the note from my grandmother's doctor outlining her condition, along with a note from my aunt herself (who is a psychologist) saying that my presence would be beneficial to my grandmother's well-being.

Now my only question is: how to I start the Emergency Parole process?

Do I go on Infopass and make an appointment? What category should I enter my appointment under? Will I need to apply for a different I-131, or will they just accelerate the one I've already submitted?

Has anybody here done this? I'd dearly love some advice!

Thanks so much in advance!

I scheduled an InfoPass appointment and took a letter from my Mom's doctor explaining her physical condition and that it was necessary for me to return to Canada to assist her in getting into a care facility after her release from the hospital.

I was granted the AP while I waited that same day after my InfoPass appointment.

Great, good info!

Did you have to apply again, (and pay the fee again?) or did they just basically accelerate your AP application?

Did you still end up getting your AP in the mail 60-90 days after you applied?

Thanks!

At the time that I applied for AOS/EAD/AP, the applications were sent to the local USCIS office (in my case, Seattle). So, they had my application at the office that I had my InfoPass appointment at. I got my AP documents after my appointment and left with them that day.

USCIS approved my AP that day, so I did not receive any other AP documents after that.

If you go to an InfoPass appointment, I'm sure they can give you the information you will need to get your AP expedited, even if they can't do it that day.

Good luck.

Sigh.

Nothing is ever easy.

I received the fax from my aunt with the letters, so I went on Infopass to make an appointment.

Of course, it's the Manhattan office, so the soonest available time is 7:20am on Thursday, March 18.

Ugh.

Good thing I'm not in a hurry. Nnngh.

Anyway, I'll fill out a new I-131 and bring it with me, along with our travel itinerary and the fee. Do they accept credit cards, or should I bring my checkbook or cash?

We don't leave until March 30, but I wish I had been able to get in there this week. Ah, well. If wishes were horses...

Thanks, everyone!
