advance parole is approved; can I leave now
Hi
I have Aslum application pending, where I am waiting the interview date to be set.
I applied for advance parole and just got approved--I checked my case status and it says the case is approved.
My question is: I am tight on time, and I need to travel right away. Do I need to wait for the notice to arrive to be able to leave, or I can leave now and I can get my roommate to send me the document in registered mail to use it upon my return?
Hi guys! I filed my I-485 with the employment authorization and the I-131 advanced parole all together. I received the text message, email and copy in the mail only for the employement authorization and the I-485 but nothing of the advanced paroled. I called USCIS and the lady said I should have received a notice from that form too.... Has this happened to you?
My wife was recently granted Advance Parole through her DACA. We would like to take the trip to see her grandmother because she is sick. I guess my concern is when coming back through port of entry, how strict can cbp be to her? She has no criminal history, never been in removal proceedings, just that her daca will expire in 150 days but we must go before the end of June. If anyone has any advise, would greatly appreciated. We are also going to travel through the port of Nogales, Arizona. Thanks..
I have a advance parole. I got approved and everything. Because my grandfather was sick, well now he is doing much better. And he is coming to visit soon for a month.
My question is do I have to go to visit my grandfather the place where he lives or can i go to another part of mexico? And will i get n trouble if i do to another part?
I need help with an urgent situation please. I am an F-1 OPT student (OPT is valid till August 2016). I have submitted green card application (forms i-485, i-765, and i-130). My biometric took place on 4/14/16 in Phoenix, AZ. I now have an emergency at home in India (grandfather has suddenly become terminally ill) and I want to apply for emergency Advance Parole (AP) for Humanitarian Purposes so I can go home to India. My Infopass appointment is tomorrow morning (4/19). My questions are:
1. Is it wise to leave the country if i-485 is pending? What are my chances of being allowed back in?
2. Will I have to do my biometric again for AP, even though I completed my biometric just 4 days ago?
3. Can I leave the country before AP is approved? Can immi send the approval to consulate in my home country, India?
4. Will this delay my EAD and/or Green card significantly?
This isn't an experience as much a request for help with the process of applying for AP itself. I am planning to travel to India this summer for a study abroad program and I will have a transit of a few hours in another country, probably Qatar. I wanted to know how I should indicate the transit stop on the AP application? Thanks for the help!
I'm 18 and have had Daca for 3 years. I am planning to visit Mexico due to a sick family member. I have a question. The college i attend has a school trip next summer to Greece. Our college adviser will be with us the entire time. I don't know if that is enough reason for my Advanced Parole to be approved?. Or would that count as a "vacation".
Hello, so I hope this helps out all of my fellow dreamers and all others wanting to travel on advanced parole.
I am 22 and currently have DACA, but decided to apply for Advanced Parole to visit my sick grandmother in Ecuador and ofcourse fix my unlawful entry to the US. I sent out my request for AP on November 11, 2015. I received my approval on December 26,2015. When I got my approval I was crying of joy. I was finally going to get to see my family who I haven't seen in 16 years! Finally getting to visit the place I grew up in. This was a dream come true for me, but ofcourse also terrifying. On the letter it repeatedly states that although I got this approval to enter the US, it was NOT guaranteed. I spent countless night researching everyone else's experience, scared that I won't ever be able to come back. I have a minor arrest from when I was 15, for running away from home (my young and stupid days) but I never saw a judge and they let me go the next day. I was still terrified.
I had booked my flight to Ecuador on Feb 6th returning to the US on Feb 14th. The day finally came. When I got to the airport (NEW YORK-JFK) I asked a supervisor regarding my advanced parole. She said "you not need this when you leave the US, but when you come back all you need to do is show that paper and you should be ok" this gave me a little peace of mind. I went through TSA, the lady asked for my passport, I showed her my Ecuadorian passport, she just stamped and we were on our way. So I got on the airplane on my way to my beautiful Ecuador, after 6 hours I finally touched land in Ecuador. I saw my family, non stop tears of joy. I literally could not believe I was there. Your whole life you have programmed your brain to think "you're illegal! You cannot leave this country, if you ever do you cant come back!" So it felt like a dream to be there! I saw my grandmother and it was the best thing ever! I was there one week, catching up, visiting family members, telling them about my accomplishments and what my life is like here in NY. The last day there, I couldn't sleep. All I was thinking of was coming back. I got the airport in Guayaquil and the lady where I checked my bags asked me if I was flying with residency or visa. I said I was flying with Advanced Parole, she asked a colleague for help and it took about 20 minutes, she gave me my tickets and I was on my way. I went through immigration in Ecuador, the guy was a bit rude. He asked me why I didn't have residency. I told him I was flying with advanced parole and my papers are in process. He asked how long I was in Ecuador for. I said 7 days. He checked the paper to make sure it was legit and gave it back to me and I was on my way. Before I went to board the plane the lady who collects the boarding pass asked me if I was flying with residency or visa again (it's protocol) I showed her my AP document and let me go. I was finally on my way back to NY. Once I got back, I made the line for immigration. I asked what line I should make, the lady there said I should make the visitors line. Since with DACA I am technically only a visitor for 2 years. Once I was next in line, I gave the officer my passport and AP document. I told him, Im entering with Advanced Parole and my mother here is a citizen (my mother flew with me) the immigration officer asked me how long I was in Ecuador for, I answered. He said "unfortunately, with these type of documents, you have to go to the office to get them approved." I said no problem. I then asked if my mother can accompany me. He said sure no problem. He was very kind. He escorted us to the room, which he gave my documents to another immigration officer. I was waiting there for 5 minutes, until my name was called out. I went to the cubicle, the officer was so very kind. He asked me what was the purpose of my trip. I answered with "I flew for humanitarian purposes, my grandmother is ill and I went to visit her. He then asked, how long did you stay for, I answered with "7 days" he then asked about my grandmother, and asked if she's doing okay, I told him she's doing alright but she's still pretty bad. He said he was very sorry to hear that. Then he said " Give me 2 minutes and you will bein your way" hearing him say that was such a huge relief. He stamped 1 of my two AP documents, but gave both back to me. He also stamped my passport with a parole stamp. I was on my way to pick up my bags and it was such a huge relief. I am back home now, and getting married in 2 weeks. My boyfriend of 3 years proposed to me once I got back. And hopefully, I will be a resident in 6 months.
I hope I helped out. I probably left out some important details. If any of you have any questions. Please feel free to ask. I will answer as soon as possible.
