Advance Parole Waiting

[mirza_shabbir]

I had applied for AP for myself and for my wife in the first week of Feb. I got my AP approved in the first week of April. I haven't received my wife's AP yet. Right now AP processing time is 3 months and it's already over 3 months since my wife's AP application filed. Should I wait some more time? How do I inquire about the status of the application? We are planning to go to India in July. Any help is appreciated.

Get an INFOPASS Appointment and use your charm to have the Officer help you.

Can you tell me what is the validity period for the AP you have received.

Even I am planning to apply.

Not sure if they are giving it for 1 (or) 2 years validity for the AP.

Okay. I had heard about INFOPASS but now I will experience it.

prashanthchou - I got AP with one year validity. I had applied just before the new law came into picture. The new law is that if you apply for EAD and AP together and if your EAD is eligible for 2 years, you get AP also for 2 years. That is my understanding.
