The expedite process is the same as EAD. You will most likely be asked to fax it. 

Thx for the info. Crazy that faxing is still a thing in 2018 when email would be way easier and more efficient.

Yes, which I obviously anticipated, that's why I got all my stuff ready to Send out as soon as I get their request. Now all I can do is 

A: Hope that request arrives soon and

B: hope they get to work on it as soon they receive my documents and Grant it within a few days.

Im not aware of other peoples time lines in similar cases so im Not sure if my hopes are realistic.

Well so far I only had contact over the phone with them regarding Expediting my case, so they havent requested anything yet.

I called monday explaining the situation and wednesday I received those Updates sayIng that they assigned the case and Sent out a response to my request.

Call them tomorrow, if says completed either was mail something to send evidence or was accepted. I wouldnt go till 7 days from the flgiht to get emergency AP.

Called today, talked to Tier 2 agent, who told me that I should receive something in the mail (not Email, just regular mail) soon. That will probably be the request for evidence, including cover letter etc.

I have all of that ready so I hope I can send it all out with priority mail the same day I receive the USCIS mail. And then I guess it really depends if they will look at my case immediately.

Update: 2 new messages on my uscis profile today

-your request to have your case expedited, referral number "***********" , was completed.

-we sent a response to your request to have your case expedited, referral number "***********"

However, I have not received any Emails or phone calls from them!?

As of yesterday it says on my uscis profile "your request for expedite has been assigned to an officer for response". Now I guess all I can do is wait and hope they contact me.

Im completely aware its not a life/death situation but I still want to get there asap and I will go ahead and try to get the emergency parole if nothing happens on the expedite request soon. I am going to be honest with everything and then its up to the agent to decide. If he/she does not grant the parole I will respect that and move the flight back etc.

Like I said my flight is still 2 weeks away, should I still try to get the Emergency AP asap or wait a bit.

Thx for sharing, I hope they will give me at least a month or no expiration date at all.

Just got it completed. Did not have to pay.

Congrats, what was ur emergency if I may ask?

Thanks for clarifying. 

I will bring the NOA, a new I 131, 2 photos, birth certificates of me and my siblings and the doctors letter. I think that should be all.

From what I found it should be free in emergency cases too, but would be great if someone can confirm with certainty.

So a new I 131 but I dont have to pay the Fee correct?

What do you mean by "summary letter/application"? I dont think ill need to give them one since they got my I-131 already at their Service center.

Im glad you were able to book a new flight. What airline did you choose and did u have any sort of insurance? I will definitely ask them to do that for me too if my expedite/emergency travel parole fails.

I agree, i will have to hope that the agent will consider the letter as "serious enough".

@Unidentifiedvery sorry to hear that.

@Unidentified what did your doctors note say?

Also, since I have already applied for the I-131 with my AOS package I will NOT need to pay any fees for the emergency travel parole again correct? I guess all I need will be the 2 photos!?

in short it says : due to the very serious progression of Mrs....... disease, I deem it necessary for Mrs.......to be in the presense of her closest relatives.

It does say that the disease is incurable, however it does not say that it is terminal at this point, cause that would be a lie.

yes the doctors letter is in english and in my first language.

She does have medical records, none of them are in english though.

I am going to be honest and say that back then my information was that it takes about 90 days, so I thought for sure that I would be able to travel soon if my mothers conditioned worsened.

I think I will not even mention that I have a flight booked already

The thing is I have heard of people who got it granted for rather minor reasons like weddings and then I read of people who didnt even get it despite a life or death situation. I guess it really depends on the officer too. Im not gonna lie about it, if I dont get it so be it, but im gonna and plead my case
