Default Getting permission to travel

HI there,
Question for anyone who could help. My (UK) husband and I were married
on a K-1 visa here in the US in October. We are now applying for AOS
and are also hoping to visit the UK in Decemeber so he can see his
family for christmas, it will be a year in Oct since he has seen them.
I know that i have to file a I-130 with his AOS to get permission to
travel. How long does it take to get this back? If we are making plans
for the middle of Dec and file soon, should we have it in time? Any
info would be great, thanks!

"It may be better to use the I-131 form" You're too funny.

Some people have been waiting months for their advance parol (1-131) to be approved so its risky to book any flights for December now. I would mail it in and see when they approve it and then book it. December could be pushing it but then again my AP was approved online in 3 months so its a luck of the draw.

Still waiting for the official documents though so I don't want to believe its approved till I see them in my hands.

Good Luck

Honey, hate to tell you this but if you married in October of 2003 and haven't yet to file for your husband's adjustment of status it looks like hubby is well over the 180 days of overstay and should not leave the US for any reason whatsoever until he gets his green card.

Perhaps the in-laws would like to visit you both for the holidays instead.
