Travel outside of the US - K1
I came in on a K1 visa, married and I am in the middle of preparing my AOS papers, having just received my marriage cert.
I've had some very bad news from home. A very close relative has been in a car accident and is critically ill. Obviously I'd like to be able to go back to the UK to visit her but am a bit stuck.
Boston is my local office and they have now switched over to NBC for all AOS paperwork including the AP. Does anyone have any ideas or should I just give up on the idea of being able to go back for now?

I hate to say it, but unless you have that AP, you'll not be let back into the U.S.

I also found out that my dog who I had to leave behind just died too.

I'm going to try Boston as well tomorrow. Having just spoken to the hospital I think unless I get back to London by the end of the week, I'll be too late.

Good luck, sibsie. Boston is humantarian and might give you a one month A/P to visit your friend and attend the funeral if it comes to that. Take all your written communication as to her accident and prognosis and see what can be done. Remember to take another A/P (I-131) with you and another set of photos and stress to them that you only want a one trip, short duration A/P.

Re: Travel outside of the US - K1
Thanks for the advice Rete. I asked the hospital to fax me something to take along. By the time I heard the news it was late at night there but hopefully I'll have something by the morning from them. It's my aunt and Godmother so I'd very much like to be able to see her.

Re: Travel outside of the US - K1
I'm sorry to hear the bad news Sibs, both about your dog and your aunt.
I really hope you can get it sorted out and get back to see her. I'll have my fingers crossed and will be thinking of ya tomorrow.
Take care
Tam
