Hi frantic, I agree with pingpong02. If you look at Jan approvals in rupnet in most cases the FP was done in april and may 2001. These are the ones that will expire soon. Also see the following thread. following message was posted by Samansa...

There have been several concenrs from few members of this forum regarding traveling using advanced parole (AP). My travel experience may help. I recently traveled to Russia using AP in Lufthansa. I had to change planes in Frankfurt. Few people scared me that I have to take German transit...

Congrats! Please update rupnet.

Please post your RD and ND

WheresMahGreen, Thankyou for your information. I hope the airline people will agree with this.

Has anyone travelled through Frankfurt with AP and no transit visa? Please reply.

I had sent an email inquiry about transit visa to the German Consulate. Following is the response I got from the German Consulate. Looks like we don't need transit visa. I decided not to apply for one as it takes more than 2 weeks by mail. I hope this information will help others travelling...

sgi, I know it might take only one day if you go in person. The closest place I can go is Houston and it is 6-7 hrs drive from my place. Documents need to be sent are in the Consulate website. This may vary depending on which consulate you apply. I sent 2 color photographs, passport, copy...

Thankyou very much for all your comments and concerns. Just to be safe I just applied for German transit visa. I hope I will get it by next Wednesday. I read my advance parole carefully. Technically we don't need transit visa as long as the airline personnel can understand English...

Hi sgi, I told them that I don't have a valid U.S. visa and have AP. They said its fine as long as I have a visa to go to Russia. I will take your suggestion and will try to get an email confirmation from them. Thank you.

I think Feb RD is correct. EAC# is assigned by ND and not by RD.

I saw another Feb 02 approval in Rupnet. This is not my case. EAC-02-102-51191 RD: 02/01/2002 ND: 02/04/2002

I called Lufthansa and they told me I don't need transit visa. Anyone with same experience please post.

Congratulations! What is your RD. Looks like yours is a Jan RD.

Conratulations!! :) Please give more details.

I will be travelling to Russia using AP in Lufthansa by next week. I have to change the plane in Frankfurt. Earlier I have read on this forum that one may require a transit German visa. I obviously don't have much time to get transit visa. Please give suggestions. Thank you.
