1) Good info and it helps that it is seperated clearly and logically

but

2) It is considered VERY lengthy post

Is there an actual point to your post rather than just a straight copy and paste??? I'm all for helping people, but just blindly posting what any of us could find using Google seems spammy to me. Just my thought.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I agree that the information is lengthy, so what??? We as individuals have FREE WILL to READ what we want to read in these forums. There are new people joining VJ on a daily basis and from my own personal experience, information like this has been very helpful without having to "seek it out." If the information I posted is not applicable or helpful to you, then move on. Everything posted on VJ is not for everyone.

Hi Inquiring mind,thanks for your post!I just called the USCIS regarding expedited Advance Parole but the lady didn't satisfy my answer.She told me to apply and mail my papers to where I mailed the I-485 but I told her I have an emergency.She has no idea about my situation and all she can offer was "I don't know the time frame" of my advance parole.I was worried cause I scheduled an infopass few minute ago and she told me that they can't accept walk-ins with infopass appointments.I never applied my I-131 before and suddenly I have an emergency and I need to go home ASAP.I read in your post that I could avail of that service due to an emergent situation/extreme humanitarian reason.I'm so glad you really had the time posting those 'lengthy' infos here.Thanks and do post more as long as it's USCIS related issues.It won't cause you any single dollar typing those helpful words and it would cause other people like me to praise the Lord for your help.amen.

Please see the example forms. You are adjusting status from a Tourist visa not a family based visa (your visa type is "AOS from Student, Work, Visitor etc), so your Tourist visa type (H1B, B2, VWP etc) is your class of admission.

Also, the 180 days is from the day your stay expired so you have been out-of-status for roughly 4 months. What do you mean you will apply for AP in case you receive a denial. Denial of what? If your GC is denied you will not be permitted to re-enter on the AP anyway.

Personally i wouldn't risk using the AP in your case but that's just me. Others will probably weigh on it soon.

** moved from "Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from Family Based Visas" to " Working & Traveling During US Immigration" as this is relating to travelling prior to getting your GC**

Thanks Vanessa and Tony for the clear answer to my query.we are praying for an approval of my GC during the interview on June 24 but in case there's no final result yet,I think of traveling using the Advance Parole.But as you have said,if I received a Denial during our interview then I have to stay and fix the problem.

since we filed our AOS(I-130,I-485,I-765) March 19,2010 everything went well,no RFE and had my biometrics already done last April 21,2010.We have prepared everything(important papers etc) for the interview.Incase I got approved,God willing,and my passport stamped with I-551 can I use that to travel even without the card yet?Thanks again for easing my anxiety and i'm glad you're here to help people like me. sincerely,....tajimi

Hello to everyone,thanks for this helpful site and all your contributions.I have a question regarding form I-131,Advance Parole.

In part 1 number 3 of the form I-131 it says "class of admission" what will be the correct answer to this?

I have a pending AOS based on my marriage to a US citizen.Our initial interview will be on June 24,2010.I received an email notice that my EAD got approved and that my EAD card will be in the mail in 30 days.I am planning to apply for an emergency Advance Parole to visit my parents and I had made an infopass appointment on June 17,2010.I came here last year as a tourist and my 6 month visa got expired in November 15,2009.I got married in February 2010 and filed for AOS in March,2010.My concern is,incase I will get my Advance Parole and travel to my country and be back in a couple of weeks,will I be barred from entering the USA?Is the "180" days start from the day I entered the USA or from the time my visa expired last November?I am hoping and praying that during the interview,I will get approved so I wont be needing the Advance Parole.I actually booked my round trip ticket for June 28 and to make sure,I will apply for advance parole just incase I receive a denial.I can not move my schedule since it's emergency.Please I do need your advice and comments.Thanks a lot and good luck to all of you. tajimi
