January 2016 AOS Filers

[KASH2011 382]

Can anyone elaborate on the AP application? Does this entitle my spouse to leave the country while her I-485 is still processing?

Advance Parole

An Advance Parole (AP) document is issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and provides a non-immigrant K-1 visa holder permission to re-enter the United States while their Legal Permanent Resident Adjustment of Status (AOS) application is pending. Failure to obtain advance parole BEFORE departing the U.S. effectively invalidates your LPR application. It is not enough to have applied for advance parole, you must have received approval before you travel.

You may apply for Advance Parole if you have an adjustment of emergent personal or bona fide business reasons. Due to the processing required to issue an AP it is advisable to apply far in advance of when you plan to travel. As of late 2007 AP's were taking up to 100 days to be issued. In an emergency a person may make an InfoPass Appointment at a local USCIS office and request an AP expedite. Proof of the emergency must be provided, along with a copy of the AOS NOA receipt.

IMPORTANT: Please note that expedited processing is done at the discretion of the Field Office based upon the evidence provided by the applicant. Approvals vary from office to office, as well as officer to officer, so what is standard at one office may not necessarily be standard at another.

Good luck!

Please see below links for your guidance… feel free to ask some questions

Cheers!

Thank you so much for the information you have provided. It helps to understand the protocols involved in filing the AOS. I do however, have some questions.

• Does the Employment Authorization allow her to apply for a social security number?
• Does the Advanced Parole allow her to go out of the country and come back without any issues?
• When I fill out the I-485 can my spouse use my last name since it will be on our marriage license?

I realize my inquiries may appear very elementary, but I do not want to make any mistakes on my application or have RFE. Your assistance to my inquiries is greatly appreciated.

Thank you again.
