Advance Parole

Hello guys! I traveled to Ecuador and made it back without any issue. I'm describing my experience when leaving and when coming back as I didn't know the process when leaving and I had many questions about it. I traveled from the JFK, when I went to do to the check in, I showed the lady my passport and my AP. She said she doesn't know how to use it, she called another guy and he said they happily check me in but they are not responsible if I'm not able to come back. I freaked out so I called my lawyer, he explained that I have to check in using just my passport and show my AP card to the officer once I go to pass security. Once I check in, I went to pass security and told the officer that I'm traveling with AP, she just looked at it and wrote down something on a paper she had and I was ready to go and wait to board the plane. Once it was time to come back I checked in with my passport and AP, they knew the process. Once I had to pass immigration, again I showed the guy my passport and AP, everything went to smooth and quickly. Went I arrived to the JFK, I went to the visitors line, (first I had to filled out a paper where I and to say what I'm bringing with me) but one of the guys who works there (I guess helping you with any questions you have as they don't have a security uniform neither they are officers) told me to go the U.S citizens line. I guess he said that because I was with my 2 year old brother who is a US citizen. He took us to the line where handicap travelers go so I didn't have to wait a lot. Once it was my turn the lady checked our documents, she stamped my brother's passport, she took my fingerprints and my picture. Then she took us to an office where two officials were, she handed my papers to one of them. While he was checking my documents the other official came to talk to my baby brother, he was really nice. Neither one of them asked me any questions and made me feel comfortable and confident. In about 7 minutes the officer was done and was good to go. Taking my brother with me helped a lot because everyone loved him and I got to skip the long lines thanks to him. I'm so happy, I haven't been in my country for the last 7 years and I enjoyed every second of it. don't be afraid guys, if you have the opportunity go and enjoy!! I thank everyone who posted their experience here as it help me a lot. If it wasn't for you I would have traveled. I hope my experience help more people.
