Advance Parole - Nebraska Service Center

[pakka11]

Hello Everyone,

Need help!

i have applied for Adjustment of Status (AOS) based on approved asylum more than a year ago. i have applied i 485 and i 131 together. i have received the notification that its been received on october 4 and the online status says CASE WAS RECEIVED. i got the Biometrics scheduled on November 22 through mail but online status still says CASE WAS RECEIVED. As per what i know i should receive my approved i 131 within 90 days which will be January 4 in my case. but until today (92 days)the case status still says CASE was received. i called them and they said we running behind and your case is still under processing time.

summary:
i485/131-received on oct 4 -- online status CASE WAS RECEIVED

Biometrics done on Nov 22 -- online status CASE WAS RECEIVED

so i have two questions:

1) what is the chance i will get my i 131?

2) will i get any kind of notification saying its approved or need evidence or i will get my i 131 through mail without any notification?

Hi,

1) - I don't see why not, if you are approved to apply for AOS and already did your biometrics.
2) - Just check online with your receipt number to see if it was approved. I had filed the form to get both text and email notification but that only worked once. Since then, I've had to go to uscis.gov and check my status. So my advice, just monitor it. If like you said it has been more then 90 days, and they already told you they have been running behind on stuff, I say give it another month to inquire about it again. Mine took 8 months to get approved and almost 1 month for them to send it off for production. It finally said it is being produced this past Friday. Hopefully i get it this week.

Hope you get your advance parole soon and not wait as long as I did.

Thank you Pakka!

I hope so too.

Just an update: I finally got my AP in the mail today (1/9/17); they mailed me 2 of the same documents; i guess i can enter twice to US... (I had originally applied for a combo card EAD w/AP but my EAD was approved first in July 2016. So now I have a EAD card and a AP letter/document that has my picture on it). I'm surprised that they didn't send it to my lawyers office. As when me EAD got approved and mailed, it was sent to her office not my home address. Hmm.. oh well, it saved me a drive. .

Best wishes to you all Houston filers.
