This is what I found and wanted to share with you, but I think most of you will already be aware of this. Sorry for opening a new thread.
. Delays in Issuance of Advance Parole
Backlogs at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving have caused delays in
issuance of routine requests for Advance Parole (AP). The Bureau of
Printing and Engraving, in addition to printing U.S. currency and
minting coins, also prints the security paper used for AP documents.
As a stopgap measure, additional paper was printed using the Legacy INS
format. The additional paper was forwarded to the Service Centers in
mid-January 2004. There is an indication that at least one of the
Service Centers will treat the delayed cases as priority matters.
Therefore, those persons with delayed AP cases may receive the requested
AP shortly. The use of the outdated paper should not be cause for
concern, as those advance paroles are considered valid through their
respective expiration dates.
