I do have a common Asian last name and probably that's why. Anyone has any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I went to Federal Plaza and applied for advance parole this past Monday. If you have complete documents, you can get it in one day. I went in the building at 10:30 and came out at 3:30 pm with the travel document good till next July.
sooners00 said:I filed advance Parole application yesterday by E file option. Currently I am preparing supporting documents...I have to wait until I receive doctor's letter from my home country. I heard that Advance Parole usually takes 3 months to be approved....How could you get advance Parole within a day??? Was it regular application or some kinds of special case? If that was special case, which forms did you file and what kinds of documents did you prepare? Thanks

candyattitude said:hey sarrebal,
did you apply for ead or are you just going to continue with your H1-B?? i haven't applied for AP yet. i want to travel during christmas break, so i'm hoping that this will be done by then. i have no idea what the heck happened. i saw someone in nyc with a 90 days timeline. and he put in his papers the same day as me. maybe i have bad luck??!!! i guess i just have to be patient.
