July 2009 Family Based Filers - Post Here

I highly doubt early FP has anything to do with a faster processing. Take a look at the signatures, a lot of people with a really fast timeline got their FP done on the day it was scheduled.
 
Just an update on my case, today I received an email from CRIS saying my EAD Card production was ordered.

I called last Monday (Aug 10th) asking for expedited processing for my EAD since I need to prove that I can work to avoid a big financial problem that I didn't know I was getting into :eek:..., well the guy said he had put a request and that I should receive an answer in the next 3-5 business days.

Good Luck to you all!!

:cool:

How did you manage to talk to someone at USCIS? Which # and what options you used to talk to someone on phone?
 
I am maybe going back to school in Sept. Instead of for the Jan. semester to Canada.... How do I get advance parole. . I need it before Sept 1st... Is this possible???
Plz help!!

Called the USCIS right after I posted this question:
They said I need to fall under a certain category in order to get this done.... and I personally don't see me falling under emergency like family death, military employment etc. Can any one help me? I really need to register in the next 2 days for School. Any particular way I should apply for advance parole?


Thanks in advance

Do you remember the categories?, when I talked to them I couldn't get them very well, just the first one, great economical loss or something like that, would you lose a lot of money if you don't register for class?, if you do that may be a reason.

Yes I would because the tuition of my private Christian school rises 10% each year. With the available student loans I have, I won't be able to live off them for this semester and have enough to go back in the winter. This is why I need to go back THIS semester.

Would this suffice???


... You expedited your I-765, I need my I-131 travel document expedited!!! You did yous by calling the USCIS right?

diegowarrior,

When you called the USCIS, did they ask you for any evidence of severe financial loss? I know that when you call them, they will read for you a bunch of categories that you have to choose. But I think that you also need some proof right?

Best,

You can explain that to the person on the phone, they will take note of what you say and will give you an answer, hopefully with approval of your AP, in 5 business days, you don't lose anything trying.

good luck!

No, they didn't ask me for any proof, but I guess you should have one in case the ask for one in the future.

I also found the expedited criteria in the uscis website:

USCIS Expedite Criteria

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The criteria are as follows:

* Severe financial loss to company or individual
* Extreme emergent situation
* Humanitarian situation
* Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
* Department of Defense of National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
* USCIS error
* Compelling interest of USCIS

Good Luck!

SpanishGirl,
I think you need to calm down with the practice of using whatever means (even if it is unjust) to get things done.
You left the country without an AP, then came back and lied to the USCIS office about "talking to USCIS on the phone and being told walk-in FP is ok" as well as advising people here to do the same. Now you are trying to get an AP expedited with no real "emergency" which IS designed for emergency travel to begin with.

I think your AP will arrive shortly based upon your timeline.

If I were you, I would just sit tight and hope that this travel without AP thing doesn't cause any problem.. you know you will have to disclose the travel when you file N400.

I doubt the EAD was expedited. I filed about the same time as yours, and I got an email yesterday that the EAD was approved (card production ordered).

VisaNutz, I have noticed in this thread and other threads that you love to share your opinion even if it means being very rude to others. If you do not like something I have said or done, then please keep all of your comments to yourself. I ask for advice to my fellow peers in this thread who are encouraging and helpful. Please refrain from giving "advice" to anything I post. You do not know my full situation, therefore you have no foot to stand on by saying that I am being unjust.

Greatly appreciated.

Also.. I left the Country on July 9th. My documents weren't processed until July 22.

Thank you for your response. I have all the evidence of my situation if they needed it for some reason. I called the USCIS back and got a confirmation number. I appreciate you for helping.

Thanks!
 
I know is true that we all have need of having our papers soon, but is also true that Expedited is just for emergency case, mine is, and if you consider yours is too you can ask for it, otherwise the right thing is wait like the rest of us.

Good Luck.

You are absolutely correct diegowarrior. If my work visa came right now I would be fine... I could make money. But living off of student loans runs dry. Therefore, I must return to Canada.

Thanks again for your help.

Well everything happens for a reason and it wasn't meant for me to go back to school this fall. My request was denied the CRIS emailed me!
