Hi guys, i travelled to my home country for six weeks in AP and came back with out any problem in JFK .this is the second time i traveled this year in the beginning i traveled when my case was pending the second time i traveled after my vawa was approved.
i was undocumented (ewi).
so if anyone wants to travel if you don’t have any other removal issue or anything you can travel without fear.

Hi, I just got my combo card work permit/AP. I want to travel to my country for couple weeks but I am very worried on the way back. My I-485 is still pending, I am waiting for schedule the interview. Can you guys give me any advise? Do I need to take with me just the card and my passport from my country? Thank you guys.

I traveled to Canada with my USC friend driving my car when I returned on the Winsdor-Detroit check point the Immigration officer asked me whose car it was and few questions and took our passports and scanned them, he asked me to open my trunk and he when over there and inspected it, the whole thing didnt take longer than 8 minutes, He handed me our passports with my combo card and told me have a good day. I wasnt asked to go to a secondary inspection, when I was driving i relized that my passport wasnt stamped. I went to tge CBP website and I could see my travel history with the ports of entry And an I94 from 2015 when i traveled under DACA, and also this last one, but I dont have an I94 for this last entry. I contacted the CBP and they referred me to the chicago i94 referral center. Now I explained by email and sent copies of my passport and everything but they wont give me an I94 they say anyways the 2015 I94 its all i need for my adjustment of status. What do you guys think about that? Do you guys think that in the interview I’m going to be asked for my last entry I94? And do you guys think the mistakenly let me enter without second inspection or has that happened to anyone else?

Hello everyone, this site has always helped me with immigration stuff and wanted to share my recent experience. My friend is a TPS holder from El Salvador (ES). She applied for AP right after they said they were terminating TPS for ES. We were not sure if they would approve her application as they had already decided to terminate but they did. AP came with condition that she could only travel for Humanitarian or significant public benefit. She has families in Panama so we flew out on November 21st, 2018. Everything went smooth.

2 days before we were coming back to the US, we decided to check her arrival/departure records (just out of curiosity) and we were shocked. It said she had traveled 3 times in and out of the country and also said that she left the country last year from an unknown location and never returned. She has never been out of the country since she first came. We panicked. We started reading a lot of threads and what not and they all said "you should get that straight before you travel, you should go see a CBP officer before leaving the country etc". The problem was that we were already out of the country. We printed 2 years worth of her pay-stubs thinking we could show that to prove that she never left the country.

We went to the airport early and as always the person checking in the luggage had never seen a AP. It took about 20 minutes for her to verify everything, talk to her supervisor, make a copy etc. After that we were through everything all the way to the plane with no problem. We flew from Panama City to Atlanta on November 27. I have always heard that ATL airport was busy and immigration takes forever. We had a 3 hour connection. We went to the immigration line and the greeter asked if we were a family. We said just friends and they put us in different lines to see different officers. The lines were really short. I am a US Citizen so mine went through quick. The officer took a picture of my friend and had her fingerprints taken. My friend said she just asked where she was coming from and if she was bringing anything. Then they put her passport and AP in a yellow bag and escorted her to a room. I was nervous, especially after we discovered the error in arrival departure records. They told me to go wait downstairs by the luggage as I was not allowed to wait there with my friend. I kept looking at the escalator and had so many scary thoughts going through my head "was this a mistake? Should she have never traveled?" 20 minutes later she comes out all happy. She said they did not even ask her what she was doing in Panama. The officer was really nice and he asked her about the weather in Panama and how he plans to visit the country in the near future.

So even with a history showing she left the country at numerous times, my friend was paroled and it says until September 2019 (which is when her TPS is set to expire). This also means she is now eligible to adjust her status in the US through her spouse. Several of my friends (DACA, AOS, TPS) have traveled with AP and came back without any problems. They all say "it is not as scary as people make it seem". Thanks everyone.

hello. I am in the process of applying for the AP. I have exhausted all options trying to get my deportation removed but the immigration department wont reopen my case regardless of me being a minor when the case was closed. I have decided to take a risk and travel outside the U.S with the AP to see if I can adjust my status by returning to the U.S. I wanted to ask for help from my fellow peers. Have anyone ever traveled outside the U.S and returned with the AP but also having a deportation order on their name. Please help. Any and all experiences may help me. Thanks

Hello,

Currently on AP (Since 2013). Unfortunately, got a DWI (with case yet to begin) and we have plans to go to Europe in December. Can i be denied entry because of my situation? My initial booking was done as "Class B Misdemeanor".

I checked with an immigration attorney and he feels like "Should not be an issue". Anyone can provide any help

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!

I know I can apply for advance parole while my permanent resident application is pending, but do I need a specific reason to travel(emergency etc)? please let me know. I am super confused.

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how their experience was travelling on AP with a criminal background.
I was charged with gambling misdemeanors in 2012.
the case was later dismissed as i accepted a pre-trial diversion, and spent a year on probation.
even though the charges were dismissed and i was not convicted, i know the record with FBI will show the charges.
I really want to travel to my home country and iam very scared to do so.
can anyone give their opinion?
