Ginnu,
What is i245?
--that is 245(i) those who filed LC before December 30, 2001( may be 2000 i am not sure about the year) 245(i) is used by illegal person if his LC is filed before the above date, he can file employement based I-485, even if he stayed illegal in US.
my I-485 is employment based. I think thre lawyer is basing his misguided opinion on the following statement on Advance parole form:
----that is not related to your case if yourI-485 was filed and you were in status beforeI-485 was recieved by USCIS.
Advance Parole Document - An advance parole document is issued solely to authorize the temporary parole of a person into the United States. The document may be accepted by a transportation company in lieu of a visa as an authorization for the holder to travel to the United States.
An advance parole document is not issued to serve in place of any required passport. Advance parole is an extraordinary measure used sparingly to bring an otherwise inadmissible alien to the United States for a temporary period of time due to a compelling emergency. Advance parole cannot be used to circumvent the normal visa issuing procedures and is not a means to
bypass delays in visa issuance.
Did anybody have any bad experiences with AP in DC or Baltimore airports?
Thanks
