Processing times for I-131 Advanced Parole

[GiselaMargareta 5]

Hello, we submitted the I-131 for advanced parole and have receipt date April 24, 2018.

 

Questions:

1/ Anyone else submit around that time or the months before that? I am curious to see who has gotten approvals. 

2/ Our “USCIS Office” is the National Benefits Center (NBC) and we have filed a family-based Form I-485 and then it says we should check processing times for our local field office > we are in Boston. Does that mean we check the field office in Boston or the service center Vermont? I am guessing Boston but they don't list any processing times

 

Main purpose of this question is to 'meet' others who have submitted I-131 and are waiting so that I can get an idea of how long it might be.

 

Thank you!

AP is averaging 3-5 months right now. I got mine in exactly 4 months earlier this year.

 

In terms of processing times, look up the I-765 at the National Benefits Center (NBC) for their estimate of when you get employment authorization/advance parole but I don't think they are very accurate. For the actual interview, look up the I-485 with your local field office, in your case Boston. It is saying 8.5 Months to 24.5 Months, but again I do not think they are very accurate. For busy field offices, it is looking like 12-14 months.

According to the USPS, the NBC received our application on 7-5-18.  So far, we have not received our NOA and the check has not cleared my bank...

Wait you sent it to NBC directly and not Chicago lockbox?

My mistake....I sent it to the Chicago lockbox.

To close out this topic, my husband got his EAD card with AP last week. What a relief.
