Advance Parole expires while waiting for AOS

[Eugenio 0]

Greetings VJrs,

My wife came here to the U.S. on a K-1 visa and we filed for AOS, work authorization and advance parole together in Nov. 06.

She received the work authorization and advance parole in Feb. 07.

We have a straightforward case (no problems that I know of anyway), and after a service enquiry and Infopass appointment, were told that we are just waiting on FBI namecheck.

We haven't received any RFEs (yet), so we're just waiting...

My wife and I plan to travel to Colombia to visit her family in May 08, but her advance parole (I-512L) expires 1-31-08.

Of course, it would be wonderful if she gets her green card before that time, but who knows if that will happen or not.

So, what do I need to do, apply for advance parole again? Another Infopass? Would a call to the 800 number be any help at all?

Thanks very much for any advice.

Have a great day!

Just like EAD, you need to renew the AP when it expires if you wish to travel.

Infopass, service inquiry, and calls to the 800 number will not yield any further information for a case lying in namecheck. Your will be informed the case is waiting for a response from the FBI and nothing further can be done until that response is received.

If you don't have the greencard by the end of this year, and you wish to travel in May, you should file for another travel document.
