advance parole plea

[Kez/JWolf 6]

If you have a close relative that is very sick... you can take evidence of this (letter from hospital/doctor) and go to your local office and request an emergency AP... it is at their discretion to approve or not....

Yes it is important to see family.... but surely not at the expence of screwing everything up and having to start over....

Good Luck with the AP

Hi Kezzie,

Yeah I totally dont want to take that risk - I hope I will have my AP by December 21st. But if we dont have it until December 1st, we will try the emergency AP. If it wont help, I will fly home asap with AP. Bandame shouldnt take that risk!!!

The document - is it sufficient if it explains that she suffers from a heart disease (she had a surgery 10 years ago, now they dont want to fix it anymore since she wouldnt survive another surgery, she is 85 years old) which can lead to death within the next two years? My sister is a doctor, but I assume it would be weird if she wrote that paper, maybe the hospital (she works in the same hospital, but she's a contagious disease specialist, so not qualified after German law to tell something about my grandma's state of health)? Otherwise she'll ask a colleague from the internal medicine department to write something in English... Oh dear. I really hope she will be fine at least until Christmas and that we will have the AP then...

Thanks, Anna

Best of luck. Did you send in your 2nd AP with an explanation about the first or explain that you had submitted a I-131 previously and made a mistake?

As you have obviously read we are working many sides of this issue (AOS and AP) and there is varying levels of frustration. My wife is very eager to go home and visit friends and family. Especially her elderly grandmother. We were fully aware when we began the process that it takes “time” for everything to work thru the wickets. But we are trying to avoid an emergency situation and have to get the Emergency AP (with the MD's note and that process). As we approach the 90 days since filing it is tough to see others get approved and then not receive any words on our case from the supposed experts at USCIS. That is why this site is so important as a clearing house of information and individual experiences...But...that is just what it is. It is not the law. My original intent of this posting was to gather information taken with a grain of salt and then formulate my own plan of attack. I think sometimes people forget they are not immigration lawyers and say things they shouldn't. Also, if we (VJ) as a group can get together, we have the ability to voice concerns and problems with the "system" to try and make fixes. I'm going to cross threads on our AOS issue. Our case is a perfect example; we do everything right, send our applications in, they are accepted, our case is sent to the CSC and USCIS loses our K-1 medical...not our fault, a situation that appears to happen more often then usual and there in lays the problem. Do I have the ability to pay and get a new medical - yes, but then the problem continues, instead we contact people who can help and try to gather background information because the problem is becoming the norm and that is wrong. The unwanted lectures in this thread by some were not needed. Yes, all cases are different and we are not going to abandon the process but there are alternatives for us, to some they may not have the ability to pursue those alternatives because of time, money, etc..we do and I’m willing to push back. That is not bullheadedness but the right thing to do. Some feel differently and that is ok

Thanks again for your thoughts and ideas on this and the other threads we have talked on.

Cheers

Nick
