If would have helped if you had posted the question in the proper forum, i.e. US Immigration.
BTW the term is "advance parole" not advanced parole ... there is no past tense in the application name. Also your reason for the need for A/P is not emergent and will not warrant CIS issuing you an emergency A/P at the district office. YOu will have to wait the customary 30 to 120 days for its issuance through the NBC.

It's probably worth your while to take a moment to familiarize yourself with the many British Expats forums.
Please see the descriptions below the US visa related forum titles-

How about moving the thread instead of locking it?. I did PM NC about this a week or two ago when someone asked an immigration question in the USA forum that got a number of replies and was then promptly shut down. I never heard anything back though.

Instead, I've been posting in the thread and advising the OP to read/search/post in the appropriate visa forum him/herself.
In general, it's the newish members that tend to post in the USA forum whereas the more appropriate forum would be a US visa related forum. I guess they don't notice the three US visa forums elsewhere in the list of BE forums...

I didn't correct; I never do! Was just very confused by the terminology.

Still dunno the answer. Maybe coz Americans have a bit of a hang-up over their adopted language? Touch of OCD, perhaps? No idea!

People ain't gonna learn if everything is moved around for them all the time, plus we get yelled at for doing it either to much, or not enough. And it's not like this forum is that hard to navigate, when there is a clear immigration/visa section as well as a general lifestyle sections.
