Traveling with advance parole / EAD combo card for first time
My wife returned from a two week family visit in Myanmar in October 2019.
At the airport in Uangon, Myanmar, the airline check in clearly rejected her combo card.
After she shower then the CBP Carrier Information Guide, the clerk brought in a supervisor, who glanced at the combo card and told the clerk to issue a boarding pass.
Connecting in Taipei was no problem. No one looked at her card.
At SFO whe was in immigration and customs for 3 hours. 2 hours to queue up for the passport control booth. Then sent to secondary and an hour waiting her turn. When her turn cane they didn’t ask any questions and after scanning her combo card sent her to the customs secondary inspection with her checked luggage. Customs secondary inspection immediately released her.
She said that while in the secondary inspection waiting room, the CBP officers were very kind:
* They ordered pizza for people who had been there a long time or we’re going to held there a long time.
* When asked, they would call family members explaining why their loved ones were not in the arrivals hall yet.
Except for the wait time it was a good experience and she would do it again.
