Advanced Parole Renewal

[GYnot 8]

Can an expired advanced parole document be renewed? If so, how does one do that?

Renewed? No. Can you you get a new one? Sure.

 

File the I-131 and wait. Attach a copy of the I-485's receipt notice (NOA1) instead of payment (no fee when filed in this case).

@GYnot, if your I-485 receipt notice starts with MSC then send the I-131 to the Chicago Lockbox: https://www.uscis.gov/i-131-addresses

I called USCIS today and asked about this because the AP expired with the boy out of the country. They suggested I contact the embassy and that they might be able to get a visa in place because he's in a process of getting a green card.  Going to figure out if that's possible.

It expired while outside the US?? Okay then, that's a very, very different issue. Presumably his AOS application will be deemed abandoned. To avoid a pending AOS application from being abandoned, one must leave and re-enter the the US with valid AP (exceptions apply for certain work visas).

 

There are some people who lost or damaged AP while abroad, and the embassy/consulate was able to assist them.

However, his case is very different in that he has no valid AP right now and is outside the US. Presumably he will need to start over with the CR-1/IR-1 spousal visa process.
