Happy New Year all. Hope all is well.

I just got word from my wife that her grandmom just past away,, and is there anyway we can leave emergency and will be able to return ?

we sent in the AOS and EAD and Advance parole and got the notice few weeks ago...

on top of that we missed the Biometrics appointment because we were on a boston trip. so we just resent the letter for reschedule... I also received an RFE on my I-864 form because I sent in an expired one :(... so I will need to resubmit that as soon as I can get all my tax forms again... I was stupid I missed copying one year of the 3 year tax return... do you think I should wait for the other year tax return or just submit 2 years worth and my W2 ?

Monday Morning I will need to call USCIS and see if there is anyway we can leave the US and return back without running into issues at the US customs..

all opinion and ideas are welcome... please reply.

Thanks.

hi

unless she can get an emergency AP she cannot leave, she needs an advance parole or she cannot return and will need to go through consular processing

it is a sad situation, but immigration is the most important one here

Make an infopass at your local field office for emergency AP. Without it you will not be allowed back in and have to start the visa process

over again. To receive the EAD/AP can take 3 months, longer with an RFE but you may be able to get emergency AP on the spot.

She needs to try and get an Emergency Advance Parole if she is going to leave the country without Advance Parole. You do not need an info pass, just go there and say you want to apply for an Emergency Advance Parole.

She will need:

AOS case number/NOA1

Proof that the grandmother has passed away (death certificate or letter from the doctor treating her)

2 passport photos

A check for $360 dollars.

If approved she will have the Emergency Advance Parole in her hand within an hour.

She might have some issues checking into her flight on her way home, mostly because airport computers are dumb and don't know what an advance parole is. The guy at Arlanda airport got frustrated with their system and just put me in the system as having a work visa... You won't have an issue with them questioning your right to fly as it clearly states on the form that it serves as a travel permit. When she returns she will most likely have to go through secondary (the CBP officer at Dulles that I met said it was standard) it can take a long time. I got stuck almost 2 hours while they searched other peoples bags then they asked me the same questions the first guy asked and then I could go home.

Good luck and I'm sorry for your wive's loss :(

You also need biometrics captured before they will issue AP (emergency or 'standard')/

Completely wrong, please read up on Emergency AP.

Make an infopass at your local field office for emergency AP. Without it you will not be allowed back in and have to start the visa process

over again. To receive the EAD/AP can take 3 months, longer with an RFE but you may be able to get emergency AP on the spot.

No info pass needed.

There are several ways to get emergency AP including infopass or customer service line. Different people use different paths. It doesnt make any of them 'wrong' or better.

As for biometrics-

When to File

You must apply for the travel document before leaving the United States. Generally, an applicant for a travel document must also complete biometrics capture at an Application Support Center (ASC) prior to departure from the United States. Failure to do so may cause the applicant to lose permission to reenter the country and lead to the denial of any other applications pending.

So maybe my statement was incomplete or poorly worded but not completely wrong.

I did not have to do biometrics when I had to go home to say goodbye to my father. I had just gotten my case number the night before going to the USCIS office, our case was not even put into the system yet.

In this case, yes true they don't have to go to the office but it's the quickest way if she wants to go home and be with her family ASAP as you most likely would when you lose someone.

If I am remembering correctly you had been in the US before right? I want to say Au Pair? Biometrics are 'valid' for mmm I want to say 15 months (?) I can be wrong on that though. You may have had valid prints on file? If not then I dont know. I have read many threads on Emergency AP and they just vary so much. Ive seen some people go through with out it and others required to do them first.

The language is funny in regards to the above snippet. Generally required and if you dont you can be denied entry/pending applications- but at the same time (according to other sources) not needed for AP to be approved. LOL.

We also had the pleasure of going through Emergency AP, but this was many years ago now. At the time we were doing it several other VJ users were also and everyone had different experiences. One user was DENIED when they were seeking it because a parent died while another user was APPROVED to go for a wedding party!

Some offices have the ability to print Emergency AP docs- others dont. The ones that dont basically take your info similar to the way the phone center would and its processed through the service center/you get the doc in the mail.

The only advice I can give is whatever route you take- you have to be consistent. If you apply through the phone infopass cant help you/follow up on it and vice versa.

Only biometrics I have ever done prior to the actual biometrics has been fingerprinting for entries into the united states as well as during visa interviews.

Did the user bring evidence that the parent died?
