QUESTION
Can I Expedite an Advance Parole after already submitting it?
Asked on Jun 15th, 2015 on Immigration - Washington
More details to this question:
I submitted an Advance Parole packet (Form I-131) and my evidence. I was told at a workshop that you can expedite the case if your day of travel is before 30 days. Reading more information, I noticed that it takes 60-90 days for them to get back. The least is about two months. My date of departure is one month and a half. (August and we are now in June) My question is, if it gets to the end of July and I don't hear back from them, is there a way I can expedite the process?

Advance parole applications usually cannot be expedited unless there are emergent circumstances mostly having to do with humanitarian circumstances, e.g. death of immediate family members. Usually an advance parole application will take approximately 90 days to process. U.S.C.I.S. will not expedite just based on the fact that your date of travel is before 30 days. I think that you will have to wait. unless you have a real good reason for travel. I note that an applicant is supposed to remain in the country until the advance parole application is approved.
