Finger prints required for Advance Parole?

My mother's finger prints were done end of July. She has gone through the interview process in October but case is still pending a decision (hiccups with birth certificate). But she needs to travel asap. Applied for AP 3 weeks ago, and received a letter asking to confirm all the details last week. Will they require finger printing again for AP?

What if my mom travels now and I send the the AP in mail????
 
Anyone with a pending adjustment may not leave the country without advance parole. To do so means that the adjustment application is deemed abandonded and MUST be denied. If there are current fingerprints, no new fingerprints will be required UNLESS the fingerprints turn out to be unclassifiable. She must wait for advance parole or else the case will have to be converted to consular processing, if eligible.

If she has any unlawful presence in the U.S. and leaves the country before getting LPR status, she may trigger a 3 or 10 year bar to re-entry even if mistakenly approved for advance parole (they try to deny it when there is a problem but are not bound by any mistakes). Wait for a decision on AP and even then make sure that she does not have 180 days of unlawful presence in the U.S.
 
Yes, that is right about H and L dual intent. I didn't mention it because the parent of a USC is unlikely to be one of those. I didn't want to confuse the poster with too much info.

My bad.
 
Thank you for the input. My mom doesnot have a lawful entry. She has a 10 year visa which I am afraid that they might cancel if she travels without an AP. She has been here only 4 months and I94 is still vaild.

Is there a way to expedite this process?

Will an infopass help at this stage?

Thanks again,
 
Since you are talking about advance parole. That tells me that she has filed for adjustment. Since she is your mom, that tells me that you are a USC. As the immediate relative of a USC (in this case parent) and she was allowed to file for adjustment, she had a LAWFUL entry (probably a B-2 tourist visa). That B-2 entry can expire now and it does not matter, heck, it could have expired prior to filing for adjustment, in this case.

The important point here is that if she leaves while an adjustment is pending without advance parole, her adjustment application dies. She would have to obtain her immigrant visa abroad and would not be allowed to re-enter in any other status. For all intents and purposes, her B-2 tourist visa is dead right now and has been since she filed for adjustment. What are you worried about that for? Greencard holders don't get nonimmigrant visas.

Have you posted your question in the right forum? This one is for family based greencards.
 
I believe I have posted in the right forum, but maybe not explained my self clearly. I am a USC and have applied GC for my mother. She is done with biometrics, interview(for AOS)and it is now pending a decision. However, she needs to travel asap. We were under the assumption that its generally easy for parents and that they get a yes at the end of the interview. However that did not happen. So that this point she needs to travel by Nov 19 and we have no idea when she is getting her advance parole and how things will pan out. All I was asking was is there a way to expedite the advance parole?

Understood, but then it would have been better to write "your parent" instead of the blanket word "anyone".
 
Hopefully, you have already made an Infopass appt. or maybe you can still get one??? If she already had an I-485 interview then she already got fingerprinted so that is not the issue.

So, she did not file an I-131 up front with the I-485? Why not, it was all included in the single adjustment fee? She'll have to convince USCIS of the urgency of travel to get it expedited. The posted processing times for advance parole (all I-131's) is 3 months.
