consular processing
Good day to you all. I have a pending marriage-based adjustment of status application. Of course, my initial priority was the work permit but now that I have a family function I am expected to attend back home late December, my priority has shifted to the travel permit. I applied for them separately based on my attorney’s advice (May be a bad decision but it is what it is). As time passes, I lose more hope that I could get my paper I-131 (online application) by mid December and it forces me to consider whether consular processing could be an option. is there any way to find out about processing times and delays at a consular level? I’d be doing it from the UK. obviously I would be losing all the money I spent on the application from the US but to make an informed decision about whether to go back to family or wait it out, it would help to know if wait times are ridiculous abroad…since it may not be toooo long til my permits are approved…and yet, it could be. it’s the not knowing that makes this process so difficult for so many. thank you in advance for any insight offered! good luck to you all 🙏🏼

You can apply for emergency advance parole. But you need a solid reason for that. Family function would not be a solid reason. You can call the helpline and inquire about emergency advance parole.

That’s the problem, I know it wouldn’t be a solid reason for emergency. 😔 thank you for your suggestion.
