Advance Parole

My wife and 4 year old daughter will finally be travelling home to the Philippines tomorrow after 20 + years of being here under unlawful entry. We have read everywhere and our lawyer has assured us that she shouldn't trigger the 10 year bar while travelling under EAD/AP.

This has been an amazing journey and it's far from over. We are both SCARED to death that something may happen on re-entry.....PLEASE PRAY FOR HER SAFE RETURN.....thanks so much.....this group has given us a lot of courage.

What papers do you need to bring to come back to the us? If for example, you leave for humanitarian reasons, do you have to bring a proof of that? And if you were given more days to stay but you come back the same day will they ask why? And another thing how do you guys know exactly how many days you got approved to travel ? What does
 ONE DAY
DACA ONE
ENTRY mean? IF IT'S SAYS FROM may-oct.

My family sent me a letter from my grandmothers doctor stating my grandmothers condition. It is in Spanish and I was wondering if I needed to get it translated somewhere official, if I could translate it and attach it to the original, or if it is fine the way it is.

Thank you all for your help!

Does anybody have experience with New Orleans airport?

Thank you to all that posted here their experience. This web site was the motivation that was needing to go ahead and make the attempt, also prayer and my husbands and mother full support on this. I was so nervous , scared and happy at the same time , I was finally going to see my ill grandmother who was about to pass away but thanks to god I got her blessings for my family and my mom. I also got to see my older brother who I had not seen for 16 years. It was so great going back and seen where I come from and you realize how blessed you are to be in the united states.

 I traveled in Bush International airport to San Luis Potosi Airport. You just have to show them your passport and your employment card . You arrive and Mexico has you fill out a paper. make sure to put the day like the do in Mexico . Day / Month/ Year if not they make you fill it out all over again.
They were so welcoming and just declare everything you have other than clothing and shoes. I had purchased my return tickets as well in Houston from Obnibus I wanted to experience both airplane and bus . it was awesome spending time with my family in San Luis Potosi. I only schedule my trip from Friday to Sunday . I arrived on Friday at 11 and came back on Saturday at 10:00pm arriving to Houston on Sunday at 7:00PM yes it was a 22 hour trip.

I would never go back in a bus. If you have the money to travel in an airplane do it!! As we were riding in the bus my husband and I we didn’t carry no more than 500 pesos just to be save because of all the things your hear. When we got to the border in Puente I the bus was directed down to where all the buses stop and we waited for lik e 25 min until it was our turn to get off with all our belongings even the ones under the bus. We then had to check in with some officers who where very nice , they greeted my husband and I . I handed my passport employment card and AP Papers .
 He than directed me to the line where they give out permits to travel to USA . To tell you the truth I wasn’t nervous I prayed for strength and god was always present. I waited in that line for 2 hours I got to the offices inside a office and he didn’t know how the AP worked so he sent me up to Puente II to get stamped .

 There was this young lady who was great at multi tasking and the officers told her I was sent to get stamped she was a little ticked off at the officer down stairs because that could have been done there too but she was nice to me and told me to wait . I waited but 30 min passes and I was worried the bus might leave me. I gather the guts and politely ask if It was going to take any longer because the bus was waiting for me. She freaked out she was like omg didn’t know you were on the bus come let me do this for you. Asked me my address in Houston and to take down my finger prints looked at the screen examine my AP my employment card and passport then stamped both AP paper and another white paper handed the white paper and one AP paper and called the officers to escort me back down to my bus. My heart was beating so hard so happy I wanted to jump but of course I had to behave and my husband was waiting for me at the bus. Don’t be nervous pray and be firm with your answers. There is nothing to be scared of. God will bless you and you will be back in no time.

First of all I want to thank everyone in this blog who has traveled before me and have shared their experience using Advance Parole especially the ones that have DACA, Thank you. I am thanking them because I would have not had the courage to travel with my Advance Parole without their experiences, help and knowledge especially with this new administration. My time line is like this

• AP sent December 23 2016 to the Chicago lockbox next day delivery (Expedited, did not work)
• USCIS received December 27th 2016
• Approved May 1, 2017 case move to “We mailed your document”
• Received AP on May 6 2017
• No approval letter (you don’t need them, but they might mailed you one)
• Travel May 10th 2017 from LAX TO Veracruz with A flight transfer in Mexico City
• Returned May 14 2017 From Veracruz To LAX with a stop in Mexico City
I traveled with my siblings who are also have DACA we Apply at the same time and got approved within a week or two of each other for humanitarian reasons to see my grandmother who is 73 years old and in bad health. I was confident to travel because I had read all the past experiences other people had post on this blog. My brother and sister traveled with me. I think it made it easier for us to come back in. When we arrived at LAX we fill out the declaration of items you bring. Make sure you fill one out for every single person and be honest of what you are bringing. We got in line as soonest we got inside and they told us to go with an officer at the counter past the new machines they have. I handed him my AP papers my California I.D my DACA work permit and my passport. He asked why we traveled and I told him to see out grandmother who is sick and old. That’s the only question he asked about the traveled, he was more concerned when my brother and sister handed their documents because we all had different address. My brother told the officer that it was because I was married live with my wife and my sister with her husband and he lives with my mom. He took our finger prints on both hands and a picture, for some reason he did it twice on my sister and me. He then he handed back our work permit cards and I.D’s and kept the two AP papers and passport together and told us he couldn’t stamped us and that we had to go to the room behind him. We followed him into the room and told us to have a seat. Make sure that when you are in that room you do not turn on your cellphone and don’t use it even to check time they will yell at you and could take it away. My brother and sister saw someone get their cellphone taken away from their purse they had warn them twice. We sat there for about 20 minutes they called my name and handed me my passport and told me to have a nice day. I was expecting to get question again but since I think we were the last flight of the night they didn’t. I was first to leave then my brother followed ten minutes later and so did my sister. We had no complications the only one we did have was the declaration form since it says one per family my sister didn’t filled one out since she was traveling with her husband USA citizen he filled it out and she didn’t the first officer made her filled one out but he had it only in Chinese and so he told her copy my. Inside the room they asked her if she knew Chinese and she said no her and the officer laugh and told her to fill out a new one. Over all I had the best time seeing my grandmother after 17 years it was the first time meeting my grandmother for my brother and sister and the rest of the family. If you apply for AP go and come back as soonest possible things could change at any moment. We flew Aeromexico and it was great they didn’t really check our stuff to come back in other then your passport and making sure we filled out our Mexican Immigration paper it’s just a notice of why you are flying out of Mexico. Some of the officers could be rude to you I say don’t let it get to you just let it go they have your case in their hands and could complicate things if you argue or give them attitude . If you have questions let me know I will try to answer as soonest possible.

Hello everyone,

I heard about AP towards the end of last year and was a bit discouraged because of the new Administration jumping on board. But when I came across this forum like everyone else I gained the courage to attempt and apply...here's where I'm at at the moment with my case.
 
I applied for Humanitarian Reasons:
I didn't use a lawyer, also I didn't use a lawyer with my DACA paperwork
I sent my well packaged paperwork on April 7, 2017,.
My package was received on April 11, 2017 and I got an alert via text to confirm
I checked my online status constantly and recently saw a change..it reads
"On May 11 we sent you your documents if you don't receive.." etc...
Does this mean my AP paper work is coming? And after how long can I expect it?

For those who are wondering, I sent my paper to the Chicago office and they mailed out my package to the Nebraska facilty.

I plan on traveling from LAX and returning to LAX

Your feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!
