Emergency Advance Parole for a K-2

[crecpa 0]

My wifes daughter will need to return to the Philippines ASAP after her arrival here in the U.S. under a K-2 VISA. The reason for her return is to continue her studies for a Nursing License. She will graduate from college as a Nurse in March 2012, come to the US right away, file for AOS and hopefully return to the Philippines right away to complete a coaching course to prepare for the license examination in July 2012. She cannot wait until July 2012 to arrive in the U.S. because she will "age out" in June 2012. My question is, is the need to return to the Philippines to complete a course to become a licensed nurse a valid reason for an emergency advance parole?

Emergency advanced parole depends a lot on the IO. It might work, some people have gotten approval for things like weddings and such, but it's not a true emergency (like a gravely ill family member) so I would not count on it.

Sounds like you are going to find out.

While it is possible, it is quite unlikely that emergency advance parole will be approved for returning to school. If it gets approved, that is great, but you should not assume it will. Make your plans with the assumption that emergency expedited advance parole will be denied. It is not something you can count on.

*** Moving from AOS from Work, Tourist... to AOS from Family visa as OP's question is about a K2 *****

OP, what is your definition of "right away"? Keep in mind you need to get married to mom, then file for AOS before any AP, even emergency, can be approved...

Mom is here, married to me and her AOS has been filed.

Thanks

She won't be able to return for at least a month, perhaps 2. That's because of biometrics. People haven't been approved for AP with a waiting job, so no I doubt her schooling will matter at all. You can try, but make sure she takes proof of the school and how it's finishing soon and then she'll come to the US.

Good luck. I think you'll need it.
