Traveling to Mex. with AP
Hi y'all! So I will be flying out of Sacramento Airport on straight flight to Guadalajara on Wednesday of next week. I'm super anxious. I think that I'm over thinking everything so much that now I got myself confused and unsure of what I need to take with me. I've never been out of the United States so I know I will sound stupid to many because I have some questions that to many will be colon sence.

1) what documents are needed to make it to Mexico? I have my us driver license that I know I'll need to check in and be able to board the plain. Is that it for the way there?

2) what documents are needed for the return? So far this is what I have; US driver license, AED card, My two AP papers, and my Mexican passport. Upon arrival they will stamp my AP docs and the passport that I got here in Sacramento at the Mexican council?

Please I can't forget anything crucial but it's hard to know what's crucial when you have never traveled and don't even know what you are doing!

Back to the US in less than 30 mins...
Just updating you guys with my successful return to the US through Houston, TX.

- Plane landed at 7:30 pm
- Went through customs at 7:45 pm with my US citizen wife. Officer was super nice and even joked a little bit about how i looked like a baby in my passport picture (i was fully shaved, now i have a badass beard lol). Only question asked was where I worked.
- 7:50 pm I was escorted by an Officer for secondary inspection in the little room.
- 7:55 pm Officer called my name and handed me back my passport (stamped) and combo card, and complimented me about my beard and said "welcome home". No questions asked.

It was a very smooth transition considering that I had overstayed my visa for two years and have a misdemeanor on my record.

If you're debating on wether or not to take the risk, I'd say DO IT! it's worth the risk, you will be just fine! I saw my family in Mexico after almost 10 yrs and traveled through the little towns all the way to cancun and tulum,

PS: follow me on Instagram: hugoproworld to motivate yourself and take the risk.... ;)

Good luck to everyone!

Evidence
Hello everyone , I was wondering if any of you have gotten approved for advance parole for humanitarian purposes without submitting any evidence while on DACA... any comments would be greatly appreciated. I sent in my paperwork last week June 20 , waiting to hear back from uscis. I've read so many success stories hopefully mine gets approved as well. I'll keep you all updated in regards to my process.

Advanced Parole- Flying or driving
I just received my advanced parole approval documents and I am debating whether I should drive or fly (Mexico). My approval period is July 1 to July 15 and I would really like to take my two daughters and husband. Driving would be more economical but I am hesitant as I am not sure how the re- entry into the US would differ i.e. would I get hassled more at the border vs. at the airport?
Have you driven to Mexico and returned on advanced parole? What was your experience?

How long does it normally take for the process?
I am currently starting a job, they scheduled a training session offsite and are requiring me to leave the country to Europe. Europe isn't my country of origin and the schedule date is about 45 days or so, what is the best advice in this sort of situation? I know I have to file I131 but I'm unaware of how long it takes for the process. Can someone help me?

Travelled with Advanced parole
I traveled back home cause I lost my dad and I needed to go for the funeral. I stayed for almost 3 weeks. I arrived in ATL this morning, I was on the visitors line, I took out my advance parole form, passport and work permit, one of the agents saw my parole form and told me to come over to his counter. I have him him the 2 forms and he gave me one and went over the other form. He chatted with me for awhile (nothing to do with immigration) just a friendly chat. He apologized because the system was low. Then he stamped my passport and the parole form and gave both back to me (so I have both of my travel parole forms) He explained what the stamp was and I was on my way to pick up my luggages to catch my connecting flight. I had family and friends praying for me and I had faith that i was going to get in the country. So my advice is if you want to travel then you should. I had people telling me not to go, even my lawyer advised me not to travel out but there was no way I was going to miss my fathers funeral.

advance parole travel
hi Guys, her e is my experiences. I applied for a humanitarian reasons advance parole in May 12 and I got my documents in less that 45 days. I got caught crossing the border when I was 15 years old and I told my lawyer about it so he decided to check through a CBP fingerprint process if I got any deportation or removal back then. Thank God I didn't , well I went to Guatemala from June 10 to June 18 and to be honest Everything went well. it took me like 10 minutes in secondary inspection. Make sure with a lawyer if you have any background records before you decide travel out of USA. Thanks to this site I got the valor to do it and risk it all, Go for it guys and good luck to all.
