Hi,

My mom text me that my dad collapsed and now in hospital... subarachnoid bleeding.... hope he could survive...
My status is, I'm here with K-1 and filed AOS/AP/EAD on April 22nd, biometrics done, AOS was transferred to CSC.

I tried to make an Infopass appointment, but it says they are not available till Thursday. Do I have to wait until Thursday?! Is there any way to "expedite" the expedited AP?? Calling USCIS helps?

Any input would be highly appreciated...

You could try going to the office with medical proof of your father's condition and ask if it is at all possible to request an immediate emergency AP, that the emergency is imminent and cannot wait until Thursday. Explain that you know you should make an InfoPass but that the earliest appointment is Thursday and you just cannot wait. Bring proof of filing your documentation with you as well. If that is not successful make a visit to your Representative's office and have them intervene on your behalf to get an immediate appointment. Good luck!

Would she need to fill out a current I-131?

It wouldn't hurt to have a new I-131 application completed and available. They may also charge for this one as it is separate from the AOS so it is best to be prepared.

Thank you very much Kathryn41 Yes, you're perfectly correct!
I went there as walk-in and was accepted. I will update the detail in another topic.

thanks again

I hope you had success, K&W.

Thank you Nagishkaw But unfortunately, the officer could not finish today , so I have show up there tomorrow again... that's why I could not report detail now. The only thing I can say is, "they accept walk-in in case of emergency"

I am so glad! Good luck in getting home to see your father. I hope he is doing better soon.

It sounds like you don't have a lot of time to waste . I hope you can get you can get your emergency AP approved tomorrow . Too bad this could not be resolved today.
God be with you!

Hope you get your emergency AP sorted out today.

Thanks for trying to help me out and kind words... I'm still waiting for approval. Here's the topic I updated the detail...How to get expedited AP

Hey,
I hope everything's ok with your dad and that you got to visit. I have a question - what exactly can you provide to them as proof? I'm currently in Michigan with all my AOS papers filed (and waiting...) and I find out that my grandma in Vancouver is in the hospital (pretty serious). I don't have any sort of medical paperwork stating anything - so what in the world would I provide? I was thinking about just calling the expedite in, just b/c I don't think I need to be there right this second, but I would like to see her in the next few weeks.

I don't even know where my "local office" even is!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jess

Perhaps a letter from her doctor or hospital? A letter from a close relative?

Thanks for the help!
What a pain though. As if my family's not going through enough, I have to ask my Uncle to ask my Grandma's doctor to write a note and fax/mail it to me. That's just bananas.

Has anyone done this successfully and quickly over the phone? And just how many visits does an AP document allow? After using it to visit my grandma, I would like to use it to visit home often too.

I did succeed to get expedited AP by calling USCIS, and now I'm in my country. I posted the details which would help you... How to get expedited AP
Seems you can wait for a few weeks, I recommend you to call USCIS, not InfoPass. If the officer is nice, you don't need the evidence for the first time calling. If they think they need the evidence, they'll ask you to go to local office to show it. But you can save some time with this method.

Regarding the evidence, I called the doctor to ask him to write his name, the name of my father's disease, hospital name. And I also prepared scanned docs from doctor... in Japanese . I didn't have time to receive the original.

AP allows multiple entries if you applied so.

If you still have specific questions, send PM to me. Good Luck!

Good info as always, K&W ! Thank you for leading the way, so to speak.
