Hi,

I have received an RFP for AP!! To say the least I was'nt expecting this.
They have asked for "emergent personal reason or a bona fide business reason to travel".

I have multiple reasons to travel, but am not sure, what kind of proof will convince them.

Does anyboday has had this experience, any suggestions what kind of "proof" would be sufficient ?

Thanks,
 
Green ,

Too bad . This is going crazier. What do they expect us not to leave US until they can decide our 485 cases??

Anyway what is ur AP RD/ND?

THanks
 
Sorry to hear about that.

Did you submit a reason for travel letter alongwith your application?
 
Did you, in the first place, miss sending a letter w/ reason for applying AP...That's the RFE for..I guess
 
Dont need to send a letter

Dont need to send a letter with the AP application. I applied thrice and never sent any letter.
 
I received one too

My wife, children and I received the same RFE for AP. My lawyers are handling it . They informed me that every 485 applicant is eligible for AP and they will send the response to RFE. Their take was that it was a newly "trained" IMO who may not know the entire process.

what kind of RFE is that for the AP???

what the heck ?!%$#!

you should reply:

1. without AP, i cannot travel.
2. check your handbook, i am eligible for the AP without specific reason.
3. your I-485 processing time are getting untolerable time-consuming, if you could approve my I485 now, i don't need to apply the AP.
4. you should do something to reduce the backlog rather than sending me this useless RFE...:D
 
Friends,

Thanks for the info and suggestions...

madsap vijayrc,
No I did not send any letter. (Neither did some of my other friends who got their APs without an RFE.) My lawyer never told me about the letter.

So this seems to be a random act of cruelity..

It was a shocker for me, as I did not think that an RFE can be issued for an AP.


Happyperson-- Technically , the USCIS can issue an rfe for ap.. I found this on their website :

Aliens in the United States should, prior to departure, obtain Advance Parole in order to re-enter the United States after travel abroad if they have:

-Filed an application for adjustment of status but have not received a decision from the USCIS;
-Hold refugee or asylee status and intend to depart temporarily to apply for a U.S. immigrant visa in Canada; and/or
-**An emergent personal or bona fide reason to travel temporarily abroad.** Applicants who are the beneficiary of a Private bill and Applicants who are under deportation proceedings must file to the Department of Homeland Security, 425 I Street, NW, ATTN: Parole and Humanitarian Assistance Branch, Washington, DC 20536

So if anyone of you knows what documentary, evidence is required(other than the letter, which I will surely send now.. ), do let me know.


Thanks,


Daj, My RD/ND for the AP was around August end.
 
I've used the following paragraph in my AP renewal cover letters:

Explanation for requesting Advance Parole:
As adjustment of status applicants, my spouse & I kindly request the issuance of the Advance Parole Travel Document to enable us travel to India where our parents live. Due to their old age and failing health we might need to visit India at short notice.


Hope this helps.
