Advance Parole - Recent Travel to Brazil
Hi guys, I want to share with you our recent travel experience during this pandemic. My wife and I recently traveled to Brazil, I'm a green card holder and my wife has the combo card. We reentered the country on 11/30/20 through Miami port of entry. During check in at the airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil, before issuing the boarding passes the ticketing agent took to a photo of my wife's passport and advance parole and sent them to CBP requesting permission to allow her to board the plane. They agent said that the reason for doing so is because the border is closed to most Brazilians due to presidential proclamation. My wife is a Brazilian citizen. After approximately 15 mins, CBP responded requesting additional documents, they asked for a copy of my green card and our marriage certificate. I had a picture of the marriage certificate on my phone and after providing these documents, within a minute or so we heard back from the CBP that she was okay to travel.
After passing through immigration here in the US, another officer came and escorted my wife to a different room. The officer said it was ok if I wanted to come too. We waited about 20 minutes in that room, the officer was checking something on the computer and I heard him complaining to other officer that his computer was too slow. Anyway, he then called my wife and asked her to confirm her address, stamped PAROLED on her passport and said that we were good to go.
Except for the waiting during check in and in the immigration room, everything else went smooth.
Tips: You cannot check in online with advance parole, arrive at the airport early.

UK/Schengen Travel
Hi everyone, and thanks to those who have shared their experiences so far.
Has anyone successfully travelled back to the US from the UK or Schengen region using AP? Does it count as an exception from the presidential proclamation that prohibits travel from that region? I know that permanent residents are exempt, but what about *almost* permanent residents?...
I really want to see family, especially one family member who is dying, I just want to know I can get back to the US again afterwards.

Advance Parole
Hey all
I have a pending i360/i485 case and in May I applied for a travel document. In June it was transferred from National Benefits Center to Vermont Service Center due to work load. However, I haven’t gotten any update on the case. My Dad is severely sick and in a critical condition and I have to travel to see him.
I requested an info pass and went to the Atlanta field office to get an emergency advance parole but they told me they don’t take care of VAWA cases and I will have to request for one from the Vermont Center.
Has anyone had a similar experience or can anyone please tell me the processing times for an AP? This is my first time applying for one because I’ve never really had the need to travel but I really have to because my Dad has been sick and his condition is getting worse. This process is so frustrating

entry into the US with advanced parole
Hi all,
After all the encouraging comments here, I decided to travel back home and will be returning to the US at the end of this week. Which lane have you all used during entry? Did you just enter the lane for everyone with visas not the green card holders/citizens, right? Which category did they stamp on your passport and do they take everyone into secondary inspection? Just want to make sure I get it right. Many thanks!!

Question
Hi, I have my AP and I have traveled two times last year. I traveled while my vawa and i 485 were pending. Now my vawa is approved. I want to go home and see my family because it has been more than a year but I am scared with covid that they might cause problems. Has anyone traveled with AP since COVID started? Can you share your experiences?

Travel to El Salvador with health problems?
Hi all,
My father is a TPS recipient and was granted advanced parole to leave the country to go to El Salvador. We understand the risk he is taking by leaving the US but he is extremely nervous that he will be denied reentry into the US due to his health problems; he has cancer. He has no criminal records.
Has anyone on here left the US while having health problems?
Also, how was your experience reentering the country? Any problems?
Thank you in advance! Stay safe

TRAVELING SAFE?
Hello family,
Good news of the day?? My ADVANCE PAROLE - TRAVEL PERMIT was produced yesterday!!!!
I’m so happy!!
Now question, is it safe to travel outside of the US with this document? My husband serves in the army and I have a military ID. Would that possibly back me up perhaps?
Anyways, I appreciate the answers and I wish us good luck throughout this journey. Hang in there everyone!!
