expedite AP - best options

[kannan 208]

my wife wants to go to her brother's wedding in August, and we applied at the end of March. It's very important for her as she has to perform lot of rituals during the wedding. we are not sure if she will receive AP by that time. she has done bio-metrics couple of weeks ago. what are the best options?

 

wait for 75 days and then file for expediting the AP or SR? or file for expediting it now? or do Infopass to expedite AP?

for evidence, submitting wedding invitation would be enough? 

going to India is expensive and we need to book flight tickets in the next 30 days to get a good price.

 

thanks

Normal AP can take from 3 to 6 months. And expedited AP is for emergencies only. I doubt they consider a wedding an emergency. Anyways you may get the AP before August.  You can try to make an InfoPass appointment at your local USCIS to see if they are willing to give you an AP for this case.

A wedding invitation is not going to grant you an expedite. Expedite for AP is for emergencies.

 

Your wife MAY have the AP by then. But by all means, do not allow her to leave until she has the AP in hand.
