I'm back from Veracruz with AP
Hi everyone. i posted about two weeks ago about me making the decision to travel using advance parole. After getting some good advice from some of you i decided to travel to Veracruz to visit my family. I left on the 20th and just came back the 25th (Saturday) through Huston Texas airport. My older brother who also has AP traveled with me and my husband. My experience in Mexico was amazing and sad--so much poverty it just breaks my heart.
Overall, my experience traveling back to the USA was like this---- we left Veracruz on Friday and we had to spend the night in Mexico city. Our plane would depart at 6 am on Saturday so we woke up at 2am because the airport told us we had to be there 3 hours in advance. We waited in line to speak with one of the representatives of the airline. My brother and I showed her our passports, AP forms and ID. she printed out our tickets and we were ready. Before boarding the airplane the airline crew check our papers once again and put a stamp saying (OK DOCS). when we arrived at Bush international airport we went throught the non-citizen side. There was a long line so we missed our next airplane but thats okay. We waited.. it was finally our turn and the officer check my passport, AP forms, Work Permit- He then, send me to a second inspection and since no one was there, the officer who happens to be a Hispanic Officer asked me if i was under the DACA program. I said yes. He was very nice and polite- the whole time he spoke to me in spanish. He asked me if i finish school in the US and i said yes. I asked him if he saw alot of kids traveling with AP- He responded "yes, everyday but some are criminals and i have no idea how they were able to qualified for DACA" he also said in spanish "por esas personas malas todos terminan pagando. After chatting with him for 5 minutes my brother entered the room. the other officer asked if we were related and i said yes. Later the Hispanic officer handed me back my passport witha stamp inside saying PAROLED and told me to wait outside because i coulnt wait in there for my brother. 2 minutes after i came out, my brother walked out too and we were ready to go home. I asked him "what did they say to you" he said "nothing, they just handed me my papers back" lol we actually missed our connecting flight becasue we spend a long time waiting in line to go through immigration... but thats okay- just remember to book a long connection flight so you are not rushing like us. Other tips-- make sure you make copies of all your documents and give them to someone you trust. just in case you loose them. Make sure you keep your documents secure. I actually kept them inside a zipplot bag in case of rain or etc.
If you need more tips just ask... have a safe trip guys
