My experience coming back
Hey Everyone!

I wanted to share my experience traveling to and from Mexico. I made it safely back and I can't express how grateful and happy I am to have visited my family and see where I came from. I applied for AP back in October 2016, got approved on Jan 20th, 2017 and left for Mexico on March 8th and came back on the 19th. I traveled from O'Hare to Mexico D.F. with my little brother who is a US citizen. The trip to Mexico was the easiest part. For those who are traveling with a U.S. citizen you will receive a form asking for what is the purpose of your travel, for how long and where you will be staying along with another form that must be filled out by the "head of the household" which will be collected by Mexican Immigration once you arrive in Mexico. Everyone including yourself will have your passports stamped when you arrive as well. From there on you can collect your luggage.

On my return flight, I had to present my AP form and passport to the boarding check-in desk. They will ask you some questions of when the dates of travel are and may make a copy and verify that it is valid, so don't worry if they take longer than usual, they just want to clarify details. Once I had my documentation cleared, my brother and I made our way to the terminal to our flight. Once again, I had to present my AP form and passport before being allowed to board the plane. You will also be given another form stating what was the purpose for your trip, how long you stayed and if you have anything to declare for US Customs. I suggest to everyone, to carry a pen and fill out all the forms prior to landing, it makes the process much smoother and less hassle instead of waiting until you arrive. Once I arrived at O'hare right away you enter US Customs and my brother and I made our way to the Non-Citizens line. There you will find several kiosks/desks with a Customs Officer who will ask for your AP form, passport and take your fingerprints and picture. After the officer finished with my and my brother, he ordered us to wait aside for another officer who goes around collecting all the processed passports and visas and the officer took us to a room. There will be several other people in the room waiting for their visas to be stamped or who need further screening. I barely waited for 10 mins, when an officer called out my name and said I was free to go along with my brother, my AP form and passport already stamped! They asked no questions or cleared anything else with me. I was super surprised on how fast they processed my form! But I am not complaining rather but rather grateful that it was smooth experience.

I hope that in sharing my experience, I am able to answer and encourage others who are afraid of traveling or have doubts. Please don't let this opportunity go to waste, I hope to those who will travel, I am wishing you all safe travels and a great experience :).

Finally some good news:-)
This morning I received an electronic notice that my AP application was approved. Can't wait to have that AP card in my hand.

My Info:
Application Nov 7th 2016 at the Nebraska Center

It felt like it took forever! I still have to wait for some of my other application but I'm so happy I will be able to travel and see my family.

For those still waiting good luck!

No AP yet...
They received my AP application on Oct 11, 2016. Vermont has it... It is now 3/21 and still no approval. Anyone in the same boat? I see Nebraska applicants are getting approval much faster than Vermont... Sigh....

Traveling soon
Hello Everyone!
I recently received my AP approval last week, I booked my flight to Mexico for the end of this month. Unfortunately I do have one misdemeanor on my record, but I am staying hopeful. I spoke to my lawyer and he is very optimistic and to not be scared to travel. Any similar experiences?

My experience
Hello everyone,
I want to tell you my experience about traveling outside of the USA with advanced parole.
First of all I want to thank you for posting about your experiences this forum helped me a lot on deciding to travel.
uscis received my AP application on 11/09/16 I got approved to trvel from 03/01/17 through 06/01/17. I traveles with my wife and 2 kids from Chicago to Puerto Vallarta on 03/16/17 (direcrt flight, I would suggest the same if traveling with kids) we traveled to visit my sick grandma.
We returnedon 03/19/17 again a direct flight to Chicago even though we live in Ohio. When we landed me and my family went through the non-USA citizens line. The officer took my advanved parole documents and my work permit card then took my fingerprints and asked me to follow him because they had to stamp my passport on a different room (I went by myself as my wife and kids picked up our luggage). There were about 10 people in the room, I got there and sat on a bench on the back row, there were different officers coming to the room with stamped passports and just calling the names of the different people in the room. After about 10-15minutes an officer came and calls my name I got up and he asked me “what’s your birthday?” after I answered he then hands me my passport and 1 sheet of my AP bith stanped!!! That was it! It was really smooth and easy fir me (maybe I got lucky) but I swear that was everything, they didn't even asked where I went.!!!!
If you got approved for AP I would take the chance to go ( but only if youfingerprints are clean, I wouldn't go if I you were previously deportes while trying to cross nor if you got a misdemeanor). My lawyer had adviced me no to travel but we still took the chance.
Again thank you all for your experiences. Now I have a lawful entry as well and can adjust my status. I wish everyone good luck!! Thanks.
