Advance Parole

My husband is a DACA recipient who received his approved AP on January 30th, 2017. We were very undecided whether to travel or not under the Trump administration. However, I can certainly say that all of the successful stories posted on here gave us the courage and motivation to go ahead and travel abroad (I accompanied him). So here is our experience: We left early on a Saturday morning, February 4th, to Mexico by airplane. We returned the next day, February 5th. Traveling out of the U.S. was fairly easy. Returning was the most difficult part because we didn't know what to expect. We kept thinking of all the horrible things that was happening with immigration under Trump. Dallas, TX was our port of entry. We arrived there that Sunday afternoon. Upon arrival, the first thing we had to do was line up with immigration to the corresponding line which are labeled U.S. Citizens, Permanent Residents, Visitors, etc. I, myself, am a U.S. citizen, but I didn't want to leave my husband's side so I accompanied him to the "visitors line". Well, he was up first. A CBP officer called him up, but I went with him. The CBP officer only asked three questions. She asked for the purpose of the trip, how long we were over there, and what goods we were bringing. After answering the questions the only thing she asked was, "Why such a short trip?" My husband told her because we had to get back to work on Monday. She then told my husband he would have to in a room to have his documents checked. How terrified we were! I also went with him. It was a room with a lot of people where CBP officers called you up one by one by name similar to the DMV. Here my husband got really nervous because we could hear all the questions the CBP officers were asking the people being called up. We were so scared. The thought of him not being allowed back in the U.S. was so frightening. Then it was his turn. An officer called him up. This time I didn't go with him. The CBP officer handed him his stamped AP and passport. He was only there with the officer for like 10 seconds and then was on his way back to me. Absolutely NO questions were asked. What a HUGE moment of relieve! My husband and I both looked at each other and wanted to cry sooo bad, but had to hold it in. There it was. The moment we were so scared of, happened with no complications. We are so thankful and blessed to have had such a positive experience. We hope that sharing our story will help someone out there. Much love and blessings to all.
