I'm back from Veracruz with AP
Hi everyone. i posted about two weeks ago about me making the decision to travel using advance parole. After getting some good advice from some of you i decided to travel to Veracruz to visit my family. I left on the 20th and just came back the 25th (Saturday) through Huston Texas airport. My older brother who also has AP traveled with me and my husband. My experience in Mexico was amazing and sad--so much poverty it just breaks my heart.
Overall, my experience traveling back to the USA was like this---- we left Veracruz on Friday and we had to spend the night in Mexico city. Our plane would depart at 6 am on Saturday so we woke up at 2am because the airport told us we had to be there 3 hours in advance. We waited in line to speak with one of the representatives of the airline. My brother and I showed her our passports, AP forms and ID. she printed out our tickets and we were ready. Before boarding the airplane the airline crew check our papers once again and put a stamp saying (OK DOCS). when we arrived at Bush international airport we went throught the non-citizen side. There was a long line so we missed our next airplane but thats okay. We waited.. it was finally our turn and the officer check my passport, AP forms, Work Permit- He then, send me to a second inspection and since no one was there, the officer who happens to be a Hispanic Officer asked me if i was under the DACA program. I said yes. He was very nice and polite- the whole time he spoke to me in spanish. He asked me if i finish school in the US and i said yes. I asked him if he saw alot of kids traveling with AP- He responded "yes, everyday but some are criminals and i have no idea how they were able to qualified for DACA" he also said in spanish "por esas personas malas todos terminan pagando. After chatting with him for 5 minutes my brother entered the room. the other officer asked if we were related and i said yes. Later the Hispanic officer handed me back my passport witha stamp inside saying PAROLED and told me to wait outside because i coulnt wait in there for my brother. 2 minutes after i came out, my brother walked out too and we were ready to go home. I asked him "what did they say to you" he said "nothing, they just handed me my papers back" lol we actually missed our connecting flight becasue we spend a long time waiting in line to go through immigration... but thats okay- just remember to book a long connection flight so you are not rushing like us. Other tips-- make sure you make copies of all your documents and give them to someone you trust. just in case you loose them. Make sure you keep your documents secure. I actually kept them inside a zipplot bag in case of rain or etc.
If you need more tips just ask... have a safe trip guys

advance parole
Hello everyone I was just wondering if anyone has been approved who sent their request for advance parole in December. Also how long did it take for anyone to get approved. My husband applied for one but has only received a receipt number.

Undecided
Hi guys. I found this forum and I think it great that is full of good stories.
I have DACA and I have the opportunity to travel with AP to see my family in Mexico, but I am so nervous about doing that because I have so much to lose if I can't make it back (my kids and wife all US citizens, my business, my clients, my house, etc)
Do you know if anyone who has been denied re-entry and why?
Is better to fly back to the US or by land?
Is it a good idea to take my family with me?
I am so undecided and nervous.

Traveling with AP
Hey Guys,
I recently got my AP approved and I have until September to travel. However I am in a dilema if I should go and travel under Trump's administration? I'm also in school so the earliest I could go and visit family in Mexico is March 13-19. But my parents want me to travel with my 10 year old brother but they want me to wait until summer break. I am unsure on what to do now, should I risk and wait until summer or go at the earliest possibility? What would any of you do?

Traveling with AP
Hello everyone!
I submitted my application for AP to take a class abroad. As I read these post I notice that most trips are about a week long. My class abroad will be a full month, does anyone have experience traveling and being out of the country for that long?

Traveling with AP
Hello guys! I traveled to Ecuador and made it back without any issue. I'm describing my experience when leaving and when coming back as I didn't know the process when leaving and I had many questions about it. I traveled from the JFK, when I went to do to the check in, I showed the lady my passport and my AP. She said she doesn't know how to use it, she called another guy and he said they happily check me in but they are not responsible if I'm not able to come back. I freaked out so I called my lawyer, he explained that I have to check in using just my passport and show my AP card to the officer once I go to pass security. Once I check in, I went to pass security and told the officer that I'm traveling with AP, she just looked at it and wrote down something on a paper she had and I was ready to go and wait to board the plane. Once it was time to come back I checked in with my passport and AP, they knew the process. Once I had to pass immigration, again I showed the guy my passport and AP, everything went to smooth and quickly. Went I arrived to the JFK, I went to the visitors line, (first I had to filled out a paper where I and to say what I'm bringing with me) but one of the guys who works there (I guess helping you with any questions you have as they don't have a security uniform neither they are officers) told me to go the U.S citizens line. I guess he said that because I was with my 2 year old brother who is a US citizen. He took us to the line where handicap travelers go so I didn't have to wait a lot. Once it was my turn the lady checked our documents, she stamped my brother's passport, she took my fingerprints and my picture. Then she took us to an office where two officials were, she handed my papers to one of them. While he was checking my documents the other official came to talk to my baby brother, he was really nice. Neither one of them asked me any questions and made me feel comfortable and confident. In about 7 minutes the officer was done and was good to go. Taking my brother with me helped a lot because everyone loved him and I got to skip the long lines thanks to him. I'm so happy, I haven't been in my country for the last 7 years and I enjoyed every second of it. don't be afraid guys, if you have the opportunity go and enjoy!! I thank everyone who posted their experience here as it help me a lot. If it wasn't for you I would have traveled. I hope my experience help more people.
