Advance Parole

Ready to travel i leave the 2nd and come back the 10th does anyone know if they check your papers(advance parole) before getting on the plane at your home country or when you arrive in the US?

Hello all! So I just received an email updated from USCIS that I got approval and if I didn't receive my document with in 30 days to call. Will it really take that long?? Time is ticking ??

Hello all, does anyone know how long it takes to get an answer after a case inquiry? I applied for AP . thank you :)

I applied for Travel document on 9/3 and was received on 9/16. I had fingerprint done on 10/12, but since then I have heard from them yet. 3 months just ended yesterday. I called the customer service and the representative told me to contact them on Monday if I don't see any changes on my case status. Then I went to our local office to talk to an officer, but she told me they can help me with anything and said to contact the Nebraska service center since they are the ones that have my case.
 I am so worried , my trip is on 12/21. I think I won't make it and I will have to change it.

Nebraska service center received my case on 09/29/2016, they did not issue me a biometrics appointment since I got my daca renewed in June. I applied for a study abroad wintermester program in Mexico scheduled 01/02/2017 to 01/14/2017. I have checked the status on their website 15 times a day! They are taking their sweet time with us, and they know the truth is everyone wants their passport stamped by now. Keep the faith, we gonna be alright. Stay positive!

HELLO I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR AP APPROVAL THAT FILE IN SEPTEMBER AT SOME TIME I SUBMITTED MY AP REQUEST ON THE 9/21/2016 AND IT WAS MOVED TO NEW OFFICE FOR JURISDICTION ON 9/23/2016 SO ON THE 23RD OF THIS MONTH IT WILL BE 3 MONTHS EXACTLY AND ACCORDING TO USCIS WEBSITE THEY ARE WORKING ON ALL THE REQUESTS MADE ON SEPTEMBER 2016. ANY UPDATES?? I REQUESTED MY PAROLE TO VISIT MY GREATGRANDMOTHER SINCE SHE IS VERY ILL ALONG WITH MY GRANDFATHER AS WELL.

I applied for advance parole in august ,my letter was received a week later it was around august 23. I put that i was going to visit my grandpa , he is very ill, didnt get a response til november 16 they were asking me for more evidence, my grandpa was in the hospital during those dates so i got another letter and send it a week later. they received it november 25th, i been checking my status everyday since that day and today the status changed from "we received your response" to "response have been sent to you" but i'm nervous does this mean i got approved or deny? , does anyone know, if you get denied does it show on your case status? still waiting on that letter to come

I went to Honduras with AP I received my approval about 2 and a half months after submitting it. I traveled for humanitarian reasons. I was there for 13 days and all I can say is I'm so glad to be back in the US. Honduras is a real mes and I just felt like I didn't belong there, I don't think I will ever travel on AP again even though I had no trouble getting back in the US the whole experience is just to much to go trough again. After landing at Miami International Airport I went to the visitors room for CBP inspection the firts officer asked me for my paper work and asked me how long I stayed in Honduras then took all my finger prints and a picture he said to wait a few minutes and someone else would call me about 3 minutes later another officer called me and took me in to a different room where there was a lot of people waiting. I sat there for almost two hours the second officer reviewing my paper work called me and ask me for my work permit card and I handed it to him. Told me to go sit again I was really nervous I had already lost my connecting flight and the officer was taking a long time reviewing my stuff. After about two and a half hours he called me and asked the reason of my visit to Honduras I told him My dad was no doing well I went to see him. He then said here is your EAD card and your passport I had stamped it and paroled you into the US you may got to the third window and give this to the other officer it was kind of a receipt. I went up to the other window and the officer just said thank you exit to your left and find your baggage. I was so relieved then. I had miss my flight but I wasn't to concerned at the moment I felt like I was home. Went to American Airlines to see if I could get another flight and they said it would have to be until the next day. So I went outside to breath some fresh air and that was the best feeling ive had in a while. Then I grab a cab and told him to take me to a hotel since I didn't wanna wait 12 hours until my next flight. We should all be thank full of being in this great Country that's all I can say and if you really need to go out with AP do it but be prepared for the stress when coming back, I guess most people don't have any problems as long as you have not done any crimes the officers will let you in even though they take their time to stamp your passport.

I've been a beneficiary for DACA since 2012. I arrived to this country in 1986, I haven't been back to Mexico since, I now am 32yrs old. I was very skeptical about applying for advance parole, finally i decided too, I received an opportunity to apply for an employment purpose, for a surgical missionary trip for healthcare personnel. USCIS received my application on 9-12-2016, my trip is scheduled to be 1-6-16 through 1-19-16. I am just a few days under my 90th day since I applied, I so hope to get approved soon, but I am so nervous too. I've been checking status almost everyday, at least 4 times a day no joke! it still says "my case was received". I'm really nervous, my trip is booked everything payed for, can anyone give me some suggestions as to what i can do now? My attorney says I am within the time frame. Would going in to my local USCIS office expedite my process?

I had not been home since 2004 and was out of status by 2008. I got married in June 2016 to an awesome girl from Texas. She was fascinated by the stories I told her about Africa and she couldn't wait to go visit and meet my family. We decided to start the process of adjusting my status by obtaining a green card through marriage. As we were doing research on the matter, we ran upon Advance Parole which was great news that we could go to Africa sooner rather than later, so we decided to include the paperwork for advance parole in the process. We received the document in about 4 weeks.

Then we started looking online on how safe it was to travel with advance parole and potential risk of being banned from entering the country up to 10 years. All we saw was negative things and people saying how risky it was to use advance parole to leave the country. We started being very skeptical about it and almost decided not to go to Africa and wait until I had received my green card.

Then we did more research and realized that since 2012, people who travel abroad using advance parole are not subject to the three or ten year ban unless they have a criminal background or are in the removal proceedings. That was such a relief.

We went to Africa on November 15th and arrived back to the states on November 30th. I was nervous during the flight back to America. When we arrived at the airport, I did the immigration clearance and was sent to a different room which was full of people. It took about an hour and half for my name to be called and the lady was looking into my files on a computer for about 5 minutes and she stamped "Paroled" on my passport and handed it back to me and I was free to go.

That was my experience and good luck to all of you.
