Hi There,

We applied for AOS, EAD, and AP in January, and received an RFE on the 16th February requesting more info including 2006 taxes for my wife, and my mother-in-law (co-sponsor). It has taken some time to get my parents-in-law's taxes, and we are just about ready to return all the forms now.

I am a little concerned as we are supposed to be heading off on our honeymoon on June 6th, and I'm wandering if we should be reckoning with a 3 month wait from now on the AP, or if things are likely to get moving sooner than that once we return all forms. Any thoughts? If it is relevant, my biometrics have already been done. Also, any thoughts on whether they'd speed up the AP if I include a covering letter showing our departure date?

This is the only time that we will be able to get over this year, as my wife is in school, and my I'd really like her to see my 93 year-old grandmother before she gets much worse (she's in a nursing home and her condition is deteriorating rapidly). Any thoughts on whether this would qualify as an emergency AP?

Any advice is appreciated, as always.
