I have some interesting developments. I'm going though AOS via marriage, and my Advance Parole (I-512L) arrived yesterday; it was supposed to arrive in September, way later than needed. So, I won't need the L1-A visa to re-enter the country.

 

I'm doing it this way, since I have a job offer with another company that I accepted back in March. and will start in September. I still might try to change my trip and go to the UK first, and get a new passport in a day (it's a service they do if you're in the country).

Glad to hear it has worked out. Great relief  😎  see, sometimes things work in our favour!!! Not often.. but sometimes! 

Yeah, it's crazy how it worked out. I'm seriously lucky this year with the new job offer, and them willing to wait until now.

 

Plus, If I missed my brother's wedding, my mother would've annihilated me somehow; Greek mothers are not to be trifled with! xD
