AP Confusion at VSC

[backbay74]

All:

I filed for my 3rd AP (I-131) with a notice date of 2/25/2005. My previous I-512 (which is an approved I-131) has a validity date until 4/15/2005. And my current I-765 (EAD card) is valid until 10/15/2005.

I received a notice from VSC on April 22,2005 in which they asked me if I was asking for a renewal of my current I-512 (AP) and if so why, as according to their records the validity on my current I-512 is until 10/15/2005. I was so exasperated-they mixed up my EAD validity date with the one for my AP! In any case, I replied to their notice with photocopies of my recent AP documents. They received it on April 27,2005. And I have not received any update on it so far.

Given this situation, I would like to know if there is anything I could do at the local district office (Philly in my case) to get my AP. I need to travel outside the US on an important family matter by June 4 and am unable to make a decision on travel due to this. I realize this is an unusual situation, but any help/suggestions on this matter would be apprciated very much. (I am also contacting the Senator's office here in Philly).

AP Confusion at VSC-Follow up

All:

My AP application was approved on 6/21/2005. Due to the delay in processing (check my last posting for details) I contacted the local Senator's Office first on May 27,2005.

The lady at the office was very helpful and got back to me on the very same day with an e-mail reply from VSC about my case (She also made a phone call). VSC indicated that my case was on the 'desk' of the adjudicator and it would take a couple of weeks before the decision is made.

The lady contacted VSC twice after the initial contact just to keep things moving. I received an e-mail letting me know that my application was approved on June 21, 2005. I received the documents in mail on June 24, 2005.
