TPS Advanced Parole Experience
Hello Everyone - this site was very helpful so I wanted to share my mother's experience. My mom is a TPS holder and needed to travel to her home country, El Salvador due to a family emergency. She got her advanced parole (I-512L) approved prior to leaving the United States. She had a non-stop flight from Washington Dulles (IAD) to San Salvador, El Salvador (SAL). On her way out, they did not ask her for anything other than your passport and plane ticket. On her way back, immigration in Salvador asked her for the advanced parole letter. Upon arriving Washington she followed the line that said Visitors. You only have two options, visitors or US citizen and Legal Permanent residents. She gave immigration officer all of her documents (TPS card, Passport and Advanced Parole Letter). The officer reviewed them and took fingerprints of all 10 fingers. He then placed the documents in container and gave them back to her and asked her to follow a line than lead to a second room where they do additional inspections. She then gave that officer her documents and she was asked to take a seat. I had read that sometimes people had to wait up to 2 hours in this room. She said the room was full of people, some where also TPS holders, others were there because customs was inspecting their luggage. She was in the room for maybe 30 minutes before being called up to collect her documents. Overall, she had a great experience traveling with the Advanced Parole document.

FYI. We did consult an immigration attorney about her case and he did the paperwork for the application. He told us that people that any crimes on their record including DUIs or have or had deportation orders are the ones that might have issues coming in.

Hope this helps someone.
