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?

traveled to Mexico with Advance Parole
Hi everyone!
Thanks to everyone posting positive feedback from their travel, my husband and I traveled to Mexico(land border). We were only there for a weekend. Both of us have combo cards/advance parole. We were both born in Mexico. We traveled back to the USA on Sunday afternoon and used the Calexico port of entry. We were sent to secondary inspection since it was the first time being paroled in. They checked our car and documents. They asked if it was the first time traveling and the reason for our travel. They were going to turn us away because we got there right before they closed. We didn't know they closed that border at 2pm, but they were nice enough to let us know we could wait for them to find someone to stamp our I-94. We waiting about 2 hours for them to print out an I-94 and have someone stamp it. They let us know when we travel to use the I-94 and our combo card so that we didn't have to wait that long. We were so happy to have gone! We have not been to our home country since we were kids. Because of Covid we didn't do much as this was only to see family we had not seen in years. We also traveled with our baby who is a US Citizen, we took his passport. We definitely plan on going back. It was still a nerve wrecking experience but we were so happy to have done it. Truly grateful. Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Timelines and Processes of Advance Parole
Hello my husband and I were married in June 2020, I am an American citizen and my husband is here on his OPT. We applied for the change of status and the advance parole all together in August 2020. Our paperwork is showing to be at the National Benefits Center. It is showing that applications submitted in June had a 5.5 to 7.5 timelines for the advance parole. We are now at 5.5 months and looking to find more information. My husband has a family member who has been struggling with health and he is trying to see them asap. We have not heard anything about our application. What is the processes after submitting? Should we be seeing something before he get his advance parole to travel ? Does anyone else have a timeline similar to us or advice for us.

No issues at JFK with combo card
I traveled to a Caribbean island for 8 weeks. I returned to the US on Monday and I had no problems using my combo card. I was just redirected to another office for secondary screening only because I do not have the green card yet. The immigration officer looked at my combo card and passport, no questions asked and said everything is good, have a good evening .

Used AP to Nigeria and back in the US
So here’s my experience, after so much fears and putting everything in line , I read a lot of good and bad stuffs on the internet but never read a bad experience about someone who was sent back using AP, so I decided to pray to God forgetting the risk, considering the fact that my case as been pending since 2019 after RFE I still went , I also have an overstay of two years , so the final day came, myself and my wife flew using delta airline , got home and through seeing my family and friends I took everything off my mind and enjoyed my stay , stayed 13days and the day came to move and I went back to being scared and optimistic, flew in through Atlanta airport , and in all honesty about 3 question where asked from us , for my wife he asked “who’s he to you” and my wife answered he’s my husband and one for me was “have you been to Europe “ and I said no because never been there , and he took us to another officer very close to him who asked of our house address from my wife and that was it , I wasn’t sent to secondary, the cbp officer said you can now leave sir/ma , stamped my passport and parole paper because I applied for my advance parole separately...
