ADVANCE PAROLE questions !

[tuesday03 0]

We are trying to make it to Israel by mid-July but didn't realize it would take so long to process the Advance Parole document. We made an InfoPass appointment here in New York City and the officer was VERY rude and said we weren't eligible for an emergency advance parole (we didn't think we were, we were just trying to get information on how long it would take and if we could do a non-emergency expedite request) ........

Anyway I'm wondering: is there a website for NYC processing times ? He told us 4 months but I don't trust this officer, he was really an evil evil man.

I saw this site:

and it says it is only a 1 day processing time in Boston ! We are willing to go to Boston to get this processed in a day ! Can we file in a city other than where we are currently living ???

Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

Thanks

I wouldn't say that that was accurate at all... the only way you're getting AP in one day is with an emergency. (Or possibly if you're in a DORA area.. which you're not). You can look on this website... this website offers a more promising than 90 day rule length of time to get AP http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/apstats.php about 70 days.

Good luck,

Kristina

I very, very highly doubt that you can process anywhere outside your district. Unless you want to move to Boston, you're stuck with NYC. The reason she was rude is because they don't expedite applications just because you really want to go somewhere for a vacation. They have thousands upon thousands of cases that are handled on a first-come first-serve basis. Additionally, those Boston dates look VERY off. Almost everyone waits 75-90 days for EAD and around 70 days for AP...some longer.

Your best bet is to file ASAP and pray that you get it in time. Should have filed with AOS, really.

Boston office only process AP within 1 day if it is a life or death situation.... you need evidence of the emergency like a letter/fax from a hospital ot a letter/fax from a funeral home....

Boston will not issue an emergency AP for a vaccation.....

blehhhhhhhhhh sucks ... its not really a vacation ... her sister is going into the army for 2 years, she needs to see her before she goes in.

we also were planning a ceremony for late july for her family (they couldn't come to the one we had in the US) ... and now i guess we're looking at late august at the earliest, which isn't good for anyone . . . .

its our fault we didn't apply with our AOS ... we thought we had to have SPECIFIC dates and we weren't 100% sure ... and we had no idea it would take 2-3 months ... definitely our bad for not researching more thoroughly .... but still really sucks !!!!!

It is still no reason to be rude. The officer is a public SERVANT and nothing the op did warranted rudeness.
