Traveling to Brazil with Advanced Parole during Travel proclamation that suspended entry due to Covid
Hello Everyone,
I want to share my story of traveling to Brazil with Advanced Parole during the presidential proclamation that suspended entry of Immigrants and Non-Immigrants who has been during the past 14 days in Schengen Area, the United Kingdom (excluding overseas territories outside of Europe), Ireland, Brazil, and South Africa.
I went to Brazil on 02/15/21 and was returning on 03/14/21. When I was doing my check in at the airport I was told the advanced parole is not an exemption of this rule. In any case she scanned my card and sent to the US immigration which confirmed that I couldn't fly back with this document, unless I could prove that I'm marriage with an US citizen or green card holder, which was not my case.
So, I booked another flight to Mexico (Cancun) the next day, getting there on 03/15/21. I spent around 2 weeks there before I flew back to US on 03/31/21.
When I got to the immigration in USA (JFK), I was asked if was my first time traveling with advanced parole and I said yes. I was sent straight to a room where I had to wait around 30 min as other people were also waiting at the time. After she took my folder (Passport + Advanced Parole) the agent looked in her computer for around 5 min and called me asking "where I'm coming from?". I said: "Mexico". She asked: "How long did you stay there?", I said: "15 days", then she confirmed I had the Mexican stamp in my passport, asked me to remove the mask to check my passport picture and gave back my documents saying "You are good to go!"
It wasn't that easy coming back through Mexico, but I had a good time there and everything worked fine!
I should add that Mexico did not require any Covid test coming from Brazil, neither quarantine and going back to USA from Mexico I had to do Covid test within 3 days before flight. I paid 20 USD to do the antigen rapid test in "Ahorro" pharmacy that took me 15 min. In Cancun and Playa del Carmen they actually have Covid test sites everywhere and is very easy to do.

Advance Parole no Passport
Hi everyone,
I was a DACA recipient before getting married so I will post my timeline here for anyone that is wondering how mine is going. I sent in my application in July 2020, I got my combo card in December 2020 and now my case has been ready to get scheduled for an interview. USCIS used my previous fingerprints from my DACA application so I didn't have to go do them again, but, they didn't refund the biometrics fee. I haven't been to Mexico in about 10 years, I don't have a passport. I see some people get their passport stamped as "PAROLED" wondering if I were to travel outside the US, would I have an issue knowing I don't have a passport? Appreciate your comments and input.

Biometric Appointment before AP or Combo Card??
Hello,
Before getting your combo or AP did you have to get a biometric appointment done? We submitted for the AP with the change of status back in august 2020, we are at 6 months and have not heard anything. Trying to figure out if there is something like the biometric appointment that has to be done before receiving the AP ??

Advanced Parole and Waiver (criminal)
Has anyone travelled with an Advance Parole and a Waiver? I have a waiver from my E2 visa which is good for 5 years. However, I've just recently received my I-131 combo card and am very concerned that the CBP folks won't understand my waiver. Any experiences out there? A bit of an interesting experience!

What is the process after submitting w/ a change of status?
Hello,
My husband is in the process of getting a change of status through marriage. We applied for the advance parole with his change of status in Aug 2020. We have not heard anything since we have received our notification that our application has been received. AFTER submitting, is there anything we should be getting notified about or doing before his advance parole or combo card comes? What is the PROCESS after submitting? Timeline?
