    Have you had any bad Experience with Advanced Parole?

    My suggestion: Go to the USCIS office and talk to the officer to check whether F1 visas are eligible for AP. If they allow AP's for F-1 visa, then you should get a letter from a doctor from your home country stating that it's an emergency and your sister is needed in your country. Fill out...

    Security Check and Name Check seems to be the same. Name checks are done for security reasons. Outside processing time implies you are not in the normal processing time dates as USCIS website displays for regular applications. Once they receive your background check results, your...

    Online case status is unreliable. Use InfoPass and meet an immigration officer. They are pretty good and answer most of your questions.

    You can use H1B and your wife AP. H1 B visa holders do not need AP to travel unless your H1B is expiring. If you leave the counrty on h1B make sure you come back before the visa expires.
