I see that its taking 6-12 months for the AOS to get approved for most. Unless I'm missing something or just not thinking clearly, I'm not seeing a reason to panic or a need for this to be done expeditiously?

Yeah, I hate waiting too... but I'm thinking as long as we get the AP and can travel, then that's all that matters, right?

So, what are the waiting times everyone is experiencing with AP? I'm not seeing much conversation about this anywhere.

And,,,,,if I'm missing something and there is a real need for the AOS to be approve quickly, PLEASE inform me!

Maybe my questions weren't clear...lol...

I know the time frames for AOS, I'm asking what people are experiencing with AP (advanced parole) processing time frames?

Also, I'm wondering if there is an urgency to obtaining the AOS/green card except for the expired medical issue?

You're question was totally clear and iawait gave you a good answer, several October filers have gotten their AP by now and they're about to start on November petitions pretty soon, which is why he suggested following those topics. Most people lately seem to have they AP approved between 65-80 days.

I can't answer your second question though.

I know the time frames for AOS, I'm asking what people are experiencing with AP (advanced parole) processing time frames? Check out the Processing Times tab, easily accessible at the top of the forum page: http://www.visajourney.com/content/times . EAD (I-765) and AP (I-131) applications seem to be generally processed in 60-90 days.

Also, I'm wondering if there is an urgency to obtaining the AOS/green card except for the expired medical issue? Likely not, if your EAD/AP cards get within 90 days of expiration you can apply for a renewal at no charge. I think that there have also been instances of folks having to get updated biometrics (15 month validity?). Use the VJ Google custom search function to find details.

There are several forum threads in the AOS Progress forum discussing these currently popular topics.

USCIS is giving many of us another opportunity to learn and exercise our patience skills. :)

Good luck your immigration journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)
