Vermont Service Center on Advance Parole Prior to May 1998 The following is an advisory from the Vermont Service Center on processing of adjustment-related advance parole applications. It has been taking approximately two months for the Vermont Service Center (VSC) to issue an I-797 receipt notice for I-485 employment-based adjustment applications. This backlog has been causing serious delays in the adjudication of I-131 advance parole (and to a lesser extent I-765 employment authorization) applications, both for individuals who had simultaneously filed I-131 applications with the I-485 and for those seeking to submit such applications at local INS offices. As a temporary measure, the Vermont Service Center has agreed to pull out of the processing line and adjudicate advance parole applications for I-485s that had been filed with I-131s as of December 11, 1997. For cases received after December 11th, the VSC will only consider requests for expedited issuance of receipt notices for purposes of adjudicating I-131 and I-765 applications under their expedite criteria. © The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C.
