Hello all,

 

I am an American citizen and my husband is from Ireland and an applicant for an I-485. We are ready to go in for an interview but have also applied for travel authorization (I-131 Advanced Parole). We've been waiting for 112 days now for the I131 to be accepted and we are supposed to fly out this week to Ireland so he can visit his family. Our lawyer told us that we would safe to fly out because it only takes 90 days to receive the approval. However, we've been waiting pst that and it is still pending. 

 

On this qebsite, under the processing times tab, it says they're working on forms from may 20th. How is this possible? May 20th was a Saturday and the government isn't open on Saturdays, meaning it's inpossible to have a Saturday as a date submitted. My husbands date submitted is May 22nd, which would be the Monday (the day forms CAN be submitted) so logically, that SHOULD be the date that they're working on. Is this website's processing times tab accurate?

 

please advise, as we already have our flights booked but cannot go without this authorization. What can we do/what's the likelihood of getting the approval in the next few days?

Your lawyer should read up on current processing times for EAD/AP.  Have you applied for an online expedite?  Have you put in an online service request?  

Probably not much you can really do now.  I doubt you will acomplish anything in a few days to change the situation.  Even IF you got approval within the next few days the actual card takes more time to arrive.  I'd look into postponing your trip.

 

A quick review of the May filers thread shows many are still waiting as well.

Thank you to your response! I thought we were allowed to submit a service request online after 90 days, but when I try to do that, i get an error message saying that my application is still within the posted processing times (it's not). Any advice?

There is no more 90 day guarantee.

It is impossible to say what is going to happen in the next few days.

I am an April filer and still waiting (day 140).

Postpone the trip.
