I hope things work out with the emergency AP. My thoughts go to you and your wife's family during this sad time. *hugs*

Thanks for everyone's prayers and encouragement. In an hour we're going back for an infopass with all the required documents. I got a little nervouse because I saw in another thread where someone from Canada was denied twice for emergency AP in Philadelphia(something about an ill father and no supporting evidence). If this fails, our plan is to drive 90 minutes south to Dover. If I don't follow up until Tuesday, it means we got it.

Im sorry for your loss

Your brother-in-law seemed to be a very strong and humble mind, I admire the strenght he had through his condition.

I hope you had your AP now.

We got it! We have to go back today at 2pm to pick it up. The lady said she can't officially say we have it, but we do. Now comes the fun of travel arrangements.

JG_AM.... if you are flying and have to pay higher costs due to the emergency, take the time to write to the airline explaining the circumstances. (This can be done after the fact.) The good ones will usually reimburse you for the extra fees.

All the best.

I've been away for several days and just read your posting. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Know that we are keeping you and your new extended family in our prayers and thoughts.

Oh man - I am bad at giving condolences. Just know that you and your family are thought of. I have no answer for why things like this one happen to good people, so I'll shut up before saying something stupid. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGHZZZZZ}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Peace, L.

Hi all, I just got back this morning. Thanks again for everyone's prayers and sypathies. The funeral was really nice and there were a lot of tears, but also a lot of peace because we know where my wife's brother is.

Just wanted to follow up on the AP application. When we went to our infopass on Friday morning, the lady said the birth certificate we had wasn't good enough. Long story short, her brother took the perferated part of his birth certificate off and it didn't have his parents names on it. I was showing the lady it had his name on it, and the death certificate had her dad's name on it. Now we needed the birth to show she was her brother's sister(sorry if this is redundant). Anyway, logic would say his name is on both, her father's name is on his death and her birth certificates. Therefore, you can prove they are related. The lady said we had to get a different birth certificate for her brother....hello??? He's dead! The lady also wondered why people don't just file for AP. She hadn't a clue. Anyway, there was a superviser there, and she looked at our stuff and I explained to her what we were trying to prove. She said she'd take the paperwork to the officer. When the super came down, she said we could come back at 2pm to get it, but she couldn't offically say we had it. My wife didn't want to get her hopes up. We booked our tickets and went back to get the AP. When we went back at 2pm, the officer came out, gave us the AP sheets and offered her condolences and said it's always difficult to have to take care of these things at times like this. When we applied for AP, we only asked for one visit and a two-week stay. The paper said multiple visits and gave us a year's AP!!!!!! Now it doesn't matter when the greencard comes.

On a side note, I had four Timmies, and an choco-mint iced cappie, as per Flames' recommendation.
