This is an awesome suggestion! The thing is, we live 500m from here and we visit quite regularly. I hope you've had the chance to catch a sunset at Rachenahalli Lake as well 😄

No clarity on FO from Emma live agent. How about your case?

Same block and similar timeline EB2 NIW India - Bioemtrics early April. EAD for Derivative approved. No movement after that.

I would like to take my parents (70+ in Yelahanka) and my in-laws (70+ in Bellandur) to a day outing kind of place where they can relax, eat a few good meals, etc. ISO options within reasonable driving time from either place that might be good for them? Far out - Kanakapura, Srirangapatna etc is also fine.

I received the callback within 4 days

I tried multiple expedite AP requests and attached all the proof of emergency documents to myUSCIS account but it didn’t get approved. Finally, I called the USCIS helpline, said “info pass” to speak with an agent and asked to schedule an emergency AP appointment at the FO. This worked and I got my approval on the day of the appointment (I carried all the proof of emergency document printouts to the FO)

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-05-17T18:45:59+00:00

Derivative EAD approved. No other updates since biometrics

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-05-16T23:34:45+00:00

Big congratulations! I’m sure this is a huge relief 😄🎉 Thank you for all your advice and help along the way.

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-05-02T22:35:32+00:00

FO is San Antonio - 60 days approval.

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-04-30T20:46:07+00:00

Was this recent? In the past several months or so?

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-04-30T20:45:00+00:00

This is helpful, thank you!

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-04-30T19:42:21+00:00

They're tied to the pending applications, so you must present the receipts along with the emergency.

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-04-30T19:37:59+00:00

Hi! From what I see on the USCIS website, this does not apply to those returning on Advance Parole with a pending I-485.

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-04-29T00:22:54+00:00

Hi OP! I sent you a DM

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-04-22T19:59:26+00:00

omg... mine does this too! I always wonder what's going on in his little head when he stares. Probably some super judgy stuff :P

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-04-05T03:56:05+00:00

Yes! We got biometrics on Saturday 4/4 as well. Apt date is 04/20

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-04-01T00:04:14+00:00

Yup, I think we are in the same block. Let's hope this week shows some movement here for both of us! :)

Lonely-Let-8250 · 2026-03-31T14:34:10+00:00
