Waiting for Advance Parole and need it soon!

[Ken1 0]

Hi Everyone,

We sent in our AOS stuff for my wife and her daughter (who entered on K-1 and K-2 visas) including the I-131 form for Advance Parole in mid November. Our NOA says: received on November 17th, and notice date November 23rd. We did biometrics on December 10th (our original date was for Dec. 17th, but we did a walk in a week early). We have a trip planned for February 13th and I'm getting a bit nervous as that's now less than a month away. Our reason for travel is that I am a teacher taking a group of students to Mexico and had the opportunity to bring the family. We stated that on our application and my wife and her daughter would like to travel with me.

I see some November filers are starting to be approved and I'm wondering if you all think that we should be fine on time or if I should set up an infopass appointment to see if I can get them to consider our situtation and help us get our AP quickly. I know it's not recommended to buy plane tickets before being approved, however as we are travelling as a big group we needed to, so I have plane tickets that I could show them and see if that would help our case.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

K & S

Try the INFOPASS.

(AP is usually used for emergency travel, you may be able to convince them)

I suggest making the infopass. The worst they can say is no and then you can get an update on where your AOS is at.
