Thanks God I entered to USA with AP Yeah
I just wanted to share my experience because I believe there are so many people being worried traveling with AP. And, I hope my positive experience can ease most of your worries.
I submitted my green card application back to July 2017 and receive the approval of my AP Oct 2017. This June, we had a wedding in Seattle and all our family came from ASIA and planned to travel to Canada. I consulted with my attorney and he said he strongly recommends me not travel with COMBO card. However, I was thinking I could still go with Combo card because I didn't get to meet my family often and I never illegally stay in the USA.
I read so many positive cases here and they gave me a lot of positive energy. And I am so glad to share with everyone my case is also one of them.
I entered the USA border through the car on 6/26/2018. The immigration officer asked me to show my Combo card and asked all of my family to the office. I was the only one got called by the officer to the counter. But she is so kind and so nice to me. She said to me, Combo card is for you to re-entry the country. So once you get Combo card, you should be able to get it. However, they will also need to do 2ed check up because they need to pull out the system and make sure the pending status.
I also asked her if I could travel again with my EAD card, and she said to me "YES".
I was super happy when they stamped on my passport. She said it is the must that immigration officer stamps on my passport everytime I get in. But I can travel with Combo card without worries.
I just wanted to thank you for all the positive experience shared on this website. It does give me a lot of power. Thank you soooo much.

Entering US with valid AP but expired Job contract
Hi All,
I am travelling to India in July last week for 3 weeks and coming back before my AP expires on August 30th.
But, my current job contract is expiring in August 12th, which may extend, but it is not sure. I would like to know with a valid AP, but expired job contract, will there be any problems reentering US from India?
Has anyone been through such experiences recently? Please share your experiences.
Do they ask about my job letter or question whether do I retain my job?
Thank you somuch for your time!

Emergency Advanced Parole
Hey guys love the thread I have a question.
My wife Needs to file for an emergency advanced parole due to her father being very ill we are awaiting the documentation from the surgeron that is conducting his surgery. What do we have to do and will she get approved in your opinion? She is very worried that she will never get to see him if he doesn’t make it we are pending her adjustment of status (she recently had DACA) and I am a US Citizen. Any thoughts please help?

Advance Parole with pending Asylum case
Hello all,
I have recently applied for Advance parole with a pending asylum case. I am planning to travel to Europe to complete my study (not to my country of origin). I am worried in case they maynot let me in, I have children who were born here. I am left in limbo between deciding to let go my study (only defense left)which took me five years and not getting to see my family. My husband is the main applicant of the asylum who stays here in case am travelling and we all have EAD. I hope someone would share any experience or advice.

recieved only one copy of AP (I-512L)
Back in January 2018 I filed I-131 form to get an AP. In March 2018 I got the AP paper (I-512L) from USCIS in the mail. There was only one copy of AP in the mail. At that time I didn't know that there should be 2 copies of AP, so I assumed that everything is fine and I will be able to travel. The paper said that AP is valid for multiple reentries until March 2019 (basically for 1 year from the date of approval). In June I was going back from an international trip and was entering US in SEA airport. The officer asked me why I have only one original copy of AP and I said that that is all that USCIS sent me. He said that they will have to keep that original copy for records. I notified him that this is only one copy that I have and that I'm expected to have another upcoming international trip. He said that he can not do anything other than make a paper copy of the AP in place, but he said that I will not be eligible to enter US with that paper copy. After that he let me go. So right now I'm in US on advanced parole status waiting for my AOS approval but i don't have any paper that will allow me to enter US next time. The upcoming trip should be in a week and I'm not sure what to do. I feel like I will have to cancel the trip. Do I have any other options?

TRAVELING TO HAWAII WITHOUT AP
I sent my documents in April and had Biometrics in May. Nothing else after that. We planned our honeymoon to Hawaii because we thought it's still in the US as its one of the states so they will not ask me for an AP document. I have just overstayed my B2 Visa from December (I had 6 months because I have canadian passport). I married my USC husband in December.
PLEASE HELP! Am I good to go?
We spent lots of money on this trip!
Anyone experienced this?

Advance Parole experience
On Monday June 4th, 2018, I returned to the USA from a month long international trip using my Advance parole based on a pending I-485 petition (family based AOS). Some background to my petition, I was approved for I-765 and advance parole back in September 2017 (PD of May 2017). Card was lost in between the Post office and my mail box. So I was asked to reapply with full fees for replacement which I did in February 2018 after unsuccessful communication between the USPS and the USCIS.
Fortunately, the USCIS was very efficient this time around as replacement was done within 2 months. In April 2018 the USCIS returned my full payment I remitted for card replacement. Instead, they generously issued me another 1-year Combo card. I hope by the time I go for my I-485 interview, my card will still be valid.
The point is that using Advance parole I was able to return to the U.S., back to my family, with no issues. The process was efficient and seamless. I thank God and this sharing community at large. Feel free to use your Advance parole.

Advance Parole
Hello!
I have been reading entries on this forum for a while. I applied for permanent residency last November, 2017. I am from Brazil and got married to an American, which is why I applied for the green card. I did my biometrics in December, received my Combo Card ( work authorization and advance parole) in March. I was very concerned about traveling even though I had the AP card. However everything went smoothly!
I traveled outside the US for three weeks, and returned to the Miami airport. I gave them my passport and AP card. They asked me to follow them to a little room, and I waited for about 10-15 min. They had to check that my application for adjustment of status was still pending. After that, they just stamped my passport and I was good to go!
They just need to check that your application hasn't been denied. If you have the AP card, you should have nothing to worry about. Travel! :)
