Advanced parole
Hi!
Has anyone stay outside USA more than one month with advanced parole?
I have plan to stay in my country 35 days
And I see many people stay until a month and don’t have problems
After I already booked my flight lawyer said me I can stay outside until 1 month but other lawyer said me 35 days is ok because my Ead +ap expired only in 10 months

smooth re-entry
Hi I would like to share my experience with traveling outside the US through advance parole. Like everyone, I shared the same concern and fear of not being allowed to re-enter US because I still don't have my greencard. I traveled back to the US last 08/11/2018. My point of entry was at LAX. At the customs border, as soon as I reached the officer, I told him that I am on a parole and handed my receipt notice, approval notice and actual parole document. I was told by a friend to hand over all three because that is what she did a few months ago. I was brought to a room and the officer advised the screening officer that I have a connecting flight in <hour so they prioritize my documents. I stayed there for less than 15mins and the officer came out with my stamped passport and told me to go fast as the boarding of my connecting flight already started. It was a smooth re-entry, far from what I have feared. If you have a medical emergency and have a valid parole, although risky, take your chance.
PS: do not use your phone when inside the room, the officers get annoyed. Also, pray as it really help. There was 7 of us in the room when I entered and 5 of us were allowed re-entry and the other 2 were just waiting when I left the room.

Advance Parole with Vawa
Hello I need help everyone.
Ive been in the Us for 17 years, from that 17 years I overstayed 5.
Right now im in process with a pending Vawa + pending AOS.
I recently received the i-512L Advance Parole document, I'm planning to travel back to my home country for a few weeks due to family emergency.
Most lawyers I've spoken to advice me NOT to go because of the 3/10 ban.
Please if anyone has had a similar experience give me some advice on what I should do.
Thanks

Travelling on ADVANCE PAROLE with expired F-1
Hi guys!
I need your help in here, please share your experiences or anyone else you know that may have gone through the same process.
I came into the US (New York) with a student visa (F-1) which was only valid for 1 year, during that year i did an English Language school and then transferred into a College in the city. I have always been legal through a valid I-20 form. I am married to a Green Card holder therefore the process for my case took a very long time (over 3 years). My I-485 case for change of status was approved on August 1st 2017, and on 1st of October 2017 i got my combo EAD card (both work authorization and travel parole).
I want to travel for back home (in Europe) but i dont know if there will be any problems or issues for me when ill come back, my lawyer says its ok because i have always been legal on a valid I-20 form even though on an expired visa and there will be no problem for me to enter with the travel parole, i am very worried because i have heard a lot of stories and i dont know what to do.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Change of legal status after Parole
Hey guys,
I am here in the US on H1B and my wife came as a dependent with H4. Both of us have received our AP document plus and EAD card. Now I have concerns about taking a temporary trip outside the US in case I have to do it because of the status change. I have read somewhere that when you enter the country on AP, you lose your H1B status, which in my case may also mean that my wife loses her H4 status as it depends on my H1B. You are no longer "admitted" but instead "paroled" into the country.
What would that mean for our pending AOS applications and my job?
My guess is that I would have to submit my EAD card to my employer for them as a basis for employment because I wouldn't have the H1B status any more. When I was applying for EAD, they instructed me to not use the EAD when I get the card and keep using my H1B status for employment because if the AOS application is denied, EAD privileges are lost, whereas H1B can be extended.
Does anyone have any experience on this change of status issue from and its implications for living/working in the US?

Filing I-131 (Application for Travel Document) instead of Advanced Parole
When filing the form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) I filed Application for Travel Document instead of Advanced Parole. I thInk I made a mistake. Will I be able to travel to see my family before getting my Green Card? Do I have to file Advanced Parole if I want to do this? The problem is that in the instructions it says that AP is only for emergencies, and I don't have any - I just want to see my family, haven't seen them in over 2 years. Do people travel only for emergencies before getting the GC? If I can file AP, do I have to pay the fee, since I already filed I-485?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much for your input,
Marta
