You can get an appointment at your local USCIS office and request emergency travel.....

Emergency Advance Parole Documents

If you are experiencing an extremely urgent situation, you may visit your local office to request an emergency advance parole document.  When visiting a local office to request emergency advance parole, you should bring the following items:

  • A completed and signed Form I-131, Application for Travel Document
  • The correct I-131 filing fee
  • Evidence to support the emergency request (e.g. medical documentation, death certificate)
  • Two passport-style photos.

A bit off topic, but relevant to this case:

 

Would it make any difference, as far as paying the I-131 application fee,  if the applicant brought their recently obtained Form I-797C Receipt I-485 NOA1, Form I-797C Receipt I-131 NOA1, and the completed Form I-797C ACS Biometrics NOA? That is if they have them, it is difficult to determine if they have these documents from their timeline.

 

OP: Please update your timeline, when you get a moment.

 

If they filed for their AOS/EAD/AP concurrently (already sent in the photographs), and gave biometrics, I would say it is worth a try. The applicant couldn't anticipate the passing of relative and the need to quickly return home to console their parents.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.
