[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is simple, stop booking ticket until he has a green card. [b]This mess is of your own making[/b]. Processing times are insane everywhere. But booking a ticket it equally insane.[/quote]

+1 100% :roll: [/quote]
Right? How is this so hard to understand. She wants to go on a vacation and keep booking tickets, and a vacation is so worth it to abandon the green card process which is not I-just about the green card, but about giving her child the option to work in two countries?
My family is in Europe, [b]in a country that needs a visa for the U.S[/b]. Guess how many plane tickets they booked before they had the U.S. visa? None. Go on your own, op, and stop being stupid.[/quote]

newsflash - there isn't a single country that doesn't need a visa[/quote]

Actually, there are through the Visa Waiver program:[url]https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visa-waiver-program.html[/url]

OP - Do not abandon that I-485 application, keep waiting, I know it's hard, the backlogs are bad and growing, field offices and the service centers aren't back to full in-office interviews or staffing yet due to COVID safety protocols, morale is in the toilet because of what Trump/Miller did to the agency, we had tons of young staff quit and we are backfilling when we can.   You can try an expedite request on the Advanced Parole/EAD, but everyone else is doing the same thing - if everything is an emergency than nothing is, KWIM?   Current staff is trained/allocated/reallocated based on processing needs, it's like turning around the Titanic every 2 months.  We are throwing everything we can at using up all immigrant visas + leftovers from the last two years.  Congress gave us the authorization to allow Premium Processing for I-131/I-765 but the rule to do so is slow moving with no ETA yet.
