    I have a limited experience with expedite advance parole but maybe it can help you.

     

    I requested an advance parole in September for a family loss. They gave me a referral ID and the in the next days got an email asking me to fax them proofs (it went really fast), which I idid then I didn't heard of them for a couple of weeks. I called them and the officer advised me to fax it again and send a paper request too. 

    I faxed again (I guess the way I entered the phone number was wrong the first time) and this time it took a couple minutes for the fax to be sent. I got another email the next days saying they got the proofs and were going to review them. Unfortunately my applications were rejected a few days later because of a bounced check and the expedite was void. 

    I would advise you to try to fax it again because it doesn't always work.

    Thanks for the reply :)

     

    I faxed the first time through FedEx in 25th Jan., it took like 20 mins because there were 18 pages. I was told that it's an international number since it starts with 816 and the FedEx agent added '1' as code before the number. After the fax was done, I got the paper verification from FedEx that fax has been successfully sent. I never received any confirmation email from USCIS to date. Called USCIS multiple times but no update. There is no way for the agent to know if the documents were received until the officer adds a response.

     

    i sent all the documents again yesterday with UPS. It went through in 5-6 mins this time. The fax number the agent added was starting with '1' again and also got the paper verification from UPS that fax has been successfully sent. Nothing received from USCIS yet. 

    what do you mean by paper request? I didn't get that part.

    Hi guys,

     

    I have a question, pretty odd situation though. I requested expedited advance parole based on medical reasoning about three weeks ago. There was no status change online on my USCIS account. No mention of my SR on my online account. I couldn't track the status of the parole. I called USCIS multiple times and was told that a letter asking for evidence was sent on Jan. 19th for the service request. I never received anything till date but faxed my evidence on the number that USCIS agent gave me on Jan. 25th. I called again multiple times but was told that there is no update on the request and was asked to wait.

     

    Today, I went for my infopass appointment and got proved for single entry emergency advance parole for 30 days at Seattle office today. 

     

    I have following questions:

     

    1. Will my SR for expedited parole be denied as emergency parole got approved? The field officer told me that issuance of emergency parole at the field office is independent of the expedited parole request since that is a different service center.

     

    2. The field officer couldn't see my service request for expedited parole through her system. Does this mean that my service request was never submitted? Also why I am not able to check it online through USCIS account? Whenever I call USCIS, they can check my SR. It's a pretty confusing situation of who can view which information. 

     

    3. I asked the officer that can I keep following up on my expedited request since God forbids if something happens and I have to extend my stay as in that case my emergency parole might  expire. She said yes you can do that.

     

    I really want to keep my expedited parole request open in parallel because I want to be prepared for the worst case scenario in which I might have to extend my stay. Is it possible?

     

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hi guys,

     

    I am also a November filer. I came on K1 and applied for I-485, AP, and EAD on Nov 16. So far, my biometrics are complete (Dec. 20). The status online shows that my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview.

     

    I applied from Riverside, California. Is my field office San Bernardino? Does anyone know how to find the office that will process the application as I have no clue on what's the tentative timeline for me as per my respective field office.

     

    Good luck to all 😊

    I just got off the phone with nvc and was told our case was being entered electronicly but she was having problems with the new system so she couldn't see if we have a case number yet.

    Noa1 July 10

    Noa2 January 18

    NVC received January 31

    When she said "I don't know if you're aware but your case" I had a mini panic attack.

    I called yesterday too and I was told the same thing. The guy said we updated the system and it's having some issues but he was able to see the date our case was received at NVC (which I knew was 1st Feb.) and that the case is being processed at this time. I will call again today.

    You don't need any of that at all if your income is sufficient.  I'm not using anything from a bank because just as fast as my paycheck is deposited, it goes right out to pay bills.  It is not in there long enough to show a balance.  Because we just had the end of the year, the bank should have sent you and end-of-the year summary for taxes.  That should be sufficient. 

    I see.. I am the beneficiary so I didn't know much.. I will ask my fiancée if he has received  year end summary from bank for taxes. Thanks for letting me know  :)

    I just got the statements of each balance for the savings/ chequing accounts

    can I do medical exam before I have interview date?

    I see... I am not sure.. In packet 4 details for Montreal consulate, they ask you to book you medical appointment as soon as you get a notification from NVC or Montreal consulate about your interview date and time (I think that's the case for CR-1). In K1 cases, I don't think NVC provides us an interview date, we have to book the date ourselves. If we know how long the medical stays valid then it will be easy to make a decision of whether to have medical right away or not (I read somewhere that's its valid for 1 year but I am not sure). I was also reading in blogs that sometimes it takes a couple of months to get an interview date from Montreal consulate. It's a little confusing.

     

    To add more to confusion, have a read of the following statement I copied from Packet 4 (available online):

     

    "Please contact one of the designated physician’s offices listed to schedule your medical exam. Please state that you are an applicant for an immigrant or K visa, as the case may be, and provide the date of your visa interview. The panel physician’s office will inform you of the fees for the exam and tests."

     

    According to above statement, you have to book an interview date first because you will be asked to provide this date for medical. So, I am not sure myself. Maybe someone else can provide us with some more insight. Or maybe you can just directly call at physician's office and ask them (that will be the easiest) if you can book your medical before getting your interview date (that will be soon too).

    I haven't received it yet, but they told me within seven business days.  I made the request this past Monday and received notification on Wednesday that my "case" (ie., the request) had been closed, which presumably means it's on its way to me in the mail now.

    But definitely get that request going ASAP, especially since you're farther along in the process than I am!  You don't want any holdups thanks to your dumb bank lol.

    Yeah I will do it today as NVC already got our case :)  Thanks once again...

    Go to your bank and ask.  I have two separate banks (checking and savings) and went to both.  If you have Capital One 360, you can generate the document yourself on demand via the website, so that's pretty handy.  Bank of America, I had to call them and ask.  The magic words here seem to be "verification of deposit" letter, or at least that was the case with my two banks.

    Remember when you make your request to specifically state all three things that have to be submitted!  I'm not going to try my luck at sending a letter that doesn't fulfill the requirements to...the letter.  B-)

    Thanks for your reply. I feel the same way.. Now i can convince my fiancée :D How long did it take for you to get the letter from Bank of America?

    Hi! I take it your fiancee is from Canada. Once you get your case number from NVC, are you planning to submit (email) packet 3 to Montreal before getting formal notification of it? 

    My fiancée is a US citizen.. I am the beneficiary from Canada :) I have been reading on visa journey that people send the email for packet 3 once the status of the case from NVC changes to "Ready". I think I will wait a week before sending it as I am gathering documents for packet 3.

    Congratulations to all the people who have been approved. For those who are waiting, please stay strong, your time is near too  :) 

     

    Does anyone know if Montreal US consulate  (Canada) includes any approved physicians for medical from Alberta? I saw a list but it seems that their approved physicians are only in Ontario, BC, or Quebec. It will be inconvenient and expensive to fly to Montreal twice for medical and interview :(  Please let me know if anyone has some information on this. Thanks...

    It sent me to another number for non immigrant visas but they said that they hadn’t recieved it yet, our petition was approved the 19th is anyone else waiting from then? 

    Everyone else finds this incredibly stressful right ? 

    Our petition was approved on 18th (hard copy date) and we are also waiting. I called NVC yesterday and today but they have not received our case yet. The lady didn't ask to wait for six weeks but said to wait a little bit more. I am being so impatient, I think I am going to call NVC tomorrow again lol. We are gathering our documents for the next stage in the meantime.

    @A&A13 I was thinking about calling Monday lol but we'll see how patient I'm feeling.

    Haha I couldn't wait. I called NVC today, they have not received the case yet. I think I will call again tomorrow lol. I was surprised to see how quick they were in answering the call. It took me around 3 mins on call in total to find out that they have not received my case yet.
