Hi,

Just thought I'd share about our Emergency Advance Parole experience today. I heard on Saturday night that my uncle had passed away from a heart attack - a complete shock as he's only in his early 50s and seemed perfectly healthy. On top of this, my grandmother on that side of the family is very fragile, and I'm particularly concerned about how this news is affecting her. So, although I didn't hold out a great deal of hope (having gone through K-1 and now being in the middle of AOS waiting I've learnt to curb my optimism a bit...), I made an Infopass appointment for today at 2:30 to see if I could get the Emergency AP. And, despite it being the last available appointment of the day, we were approved with no fuss and without the strenuous interview I was anticipating. So now I have multiple trip advance parole for the year, and I'm so grateful to the sympathetic woman at the USCIS office! Wish it hadn't come about through such sad circumstances though :(

Wish all of you the best of luck with your advance parole - I hate that we need it at all!

We took the death certificate and a letter from an uncle who happens to be a priest. I searched about on visajourney before I went, and the general advice was that supporting evidence was vital.
