My son-in-law has his EAD and is waiting for his FBI background check for his AOS. He is applying for an AP so he can go and visit his family which he hasn't seen in 2 years. I am now worried because I keep reading the AP is for emergency purposes? If he says he needs this because his AOS is pending and wants to visit his family will this be denied. I thought anyone who was waiting for their AOS could apply and receive an AP to travel?

A friend of mine used it to visit his kids in Europe and again to visit his fiance in Europe and finally to marry her in Asia! All this while waiting for his Green card. So! I think it can be used for anything (But I don't know what reason he gave when he applied for it.) (No he was not on K1 - J1 I think.)Good Luck

AP is now routinely granted to those individuals who have AOS pending. An emergency purpose is not needed, a simple need to travel is good enough.

The AP will be sent to the Chicago lockbox...

AP does not have to be for emergency travel only.

You can have your advanced parole to travel normally to other countries. There's a special procedure for emergency advanced parole which processes much faster, but there needs to be a darned good and documented reason to jump the queue that way. :)
