*WARNING* (Avoid Volaris Airline like a plague!)
I booked my flight for Friday March at 11pm with Volaris and when I arrived 3 hours early to check in I was told I missed my flight because it was actually for 11am yet somehow it arrived at 6am the same day????? WTF! I ended up buying new plane tickets with United on the spot for my sister and I for the following day at 7am (had to sit at LAX for 11hrs! Since I lived to far to go home) now we are $400 short because Volaris switched out our departure without telling us.

My trip:
Finally after arriving safely with United to Mexico city we were greeted by family we had not seen in 17 years! We took a certified taxi from the airport (DO NOT! Take a taxi outside of the Airport or else you may not make it to your destination). We were dropped off to a bus station and rode in a charter for 2+ hours to my families town of Tenancingo for the weekend. The weekend went by so fast and wished I would have stayed longer but I had to depart because of school and work. My departure was Monday March 13 at around 9pm from Mexico city airport through Volaris since we had bought round trip tickets and the return flight was still valid. As I was getting checked in by the Volaris staff I handed them copies I made of my original AP papers since I read here on Immihelp of someone getting one of their AP papers taken away from the ground staff at Mexico city airport and I sure wasn't going to let that happen (you need both identical copies when you arrive at CBP in the US) or else you run the risk of running into trouble. The ground staff in Mexico City airport was not able to tell they were not original and still approved my check in to board. When boarding time came around we almost missed our flight again because Volaris over sold tickets for the last departure to LAX but luckily my sister and I pushed are way upfront and were let through, sadly many people were not able to board and had to wait for the next flight which was the next day at 10am! When we arrived at LAX we were one of the two last planes that landed that night at around 11:40 pm and guess What? Yup you guessed it, the line to get through CBP was LONG! We reached the counter at 1:57 am. Luckily, my sister who is a US citizen was allowed to stay with me in line until we both reached the counter together :) or else we would have been separated. The person in the checking desk by the name Griffin was super cool! He asked my sister if she wanted to go ahead and find our ride and luggage or else she would have to wait a while since my AP paper would take a while to complete but she refused to leave and said no I'll wait for my brother. Mr. Griffin scanned both my finger prints and took my picture, then another officer escorted me into a near by room while my sister waited outside for my with our luggage. I sat in a room with maybe 5 other people and we watched a TV show based on California while we waited. Nobody in the room had AP but I and so practically was the last person to be called up. However, everyone else who was called up before me was asked soooo many questions once they reached the window making me feel a bit anxious since I've been here all my life 28 years (was brought when I was just over 30 days old) so all I know is life here in the USA. Finally I hear one of the CBP officers say DACA really loud let's see here. He then walked into a back office and comes out with a hugh stamp and right when he is half way back he is like oops wrong one and walks back to grab another one. I then here two stamps and he calls my last name to come up and hands me my passport and AP both stamped ?? and says have a good.
