Submitting I-131 after 485/765
I sent in my application for AOS/EA received Nov 22, 2019. Have now decided to send in the 131 then ask to be expidited for several reasons jncluding travel to see ailing parent.
Should I submit the 131 and wait until received then call and ask for expedite to get the combo card then submit all evidence or send all together with the 131? What I need more urgently is a work permit so I can get a SSN needed for driver's license and healthcare.
AOS through marriage to USC

Expedited Advance Parole travel permit I-131 timing
Hi People,

Wanted to know if anyone had experience or advise on this. So basically, my I-131 Advance Parole travel permit got expedited on January 6th, 2020. My biometrics had already been taken, but it has been 3 weeks and still no final approval on the travel permit.

How long does USCIS takes to make a decision on your Advance parole travel permit once it has already been expedited?

Thanks for any comments on this!

Best!

Crossing the Border through land with Advance Parole
Hello I have a question my husband was granted I-131 and he left to Mexico but he wants to come back through land not through the airport. Will he have an issue if he drives through with his advance parole instead of flying directly to the US?

Infopass Appointment Question
Hi All,

I was checking if I can schedule an infopass appointment at local USCIS field office & stumbled upon this information on USCIS website:

"If you are inside the United States, you can no longer schedule an appointment online using InfoPass for domestic offices. However, you can check your case status, see our case processing times, change your address, and use other tools on our website."

Can someone tell if this is true? We can't schedule an appointment anymore???

Advance Parole Travel -Newark-Dubai-Mumbai and back
Dear All,

Wanted to share my experience of travelling using AP/EAD (I-485 pending) combo card and expired visa.

Visited Mumbai for 3 weeks. Flew Emirates from Newark airport to mumbai Airport with tansit in Dubai.

On return no issues at Mumbai or Dubai airport.

On arrival at Newark Airport US immigration took only 5 mins. First officer reviewed documents and took finger prints then escorted me to secondary inspection which took only 5 mins. They review your documents there and hand you the passport and AP card after review. Very smooth process.

Feel free to use your valid AP/EAD card to travel outside.
Just make sure with airlines (specially transiting countries) that they allow AP dcument. Some tranisting countries insist that Ap holders apply for transit visa.

If possible try to fly direct or use transit airports that accept AP (Emirates does)

Enjoy your travel with AP

Used travel advance parole to travel to Brazil
Hello everyone,

I am so thankful to God to this forum and all the people who posted your experience here. I was afraid to travel but I took a chance after reading some experiences here. I traveled to Brasil for 23 days I just came back 2 days ago. I spent Christmas and New year with my family after 15 years. I overstated my visa and I was skeptical that I could have problems to reentry in USA. I went tru Fort Lauderdale and the officer sent me to second inspection which took 20 minutes waiting and no questions all I had to show was passport and advance parole.
Please don’t be afraid of traveling go enjoy your family.
It is a such relief to be able to go home.
I hope this helps anyone who is not sure about using advance parole.
God bless you all!
