eligible, to file for advance parole. If you file for the advance parole
when you file for Adjustment of status, the fee is and additional $180 ($170
INS, $10 to us for pictures). If you do not file for advance parole at the
same time as the Adjustment of status, you will have to wait 90 days for
receipt and then an additional 10 weeks for the advance parole to be
approved and the fee would be $230.
The papers we file for you will allow you to obtain a
work permit and a Resident Alien Card. You can file for a Social Security
number after you receive the work permit receipt from Immigration.
