Advance Parole

Hi everyone,
After spending four days in Mexico -- I am back home safely with Advance Parole.
I was less than one year old when my family immigrated to the US back in 1990.
Everything felt so surreal.
Tocar tierra Mexican por primera vez en mas de 25 años es una emocion increible.
If you are thinking of going and are unsure -- I strongly recommend you do it.
If you have a clean record, you have nothing to fear.
I went with my brother, he's a US citizen.

On the way back, I was a bit nervous -- I won't lie.
I just kept thinking to myself whatever happens, happens.
As I approached customs, I handed the lady my passport.
She scanned it.
She took my fingerprints and a photo.
She then pressed a button and told me to wait.
An escort came for me and took into secondary inspection.
The officer told me to take a seat.
I sat there looking around.
No one else was in this room.
I just watched them as they scanned my stuff and I saw them take out the stamp.
Then the officer called me and told me "have a good day sir"
I was in there for less than five minutes.
It went super fast.
They weren't mean, but they weren't friendly either.
This was through the Houston IAH airport.
After I left - I just smiled and laughed.
It was a feeling like "Wow I did it"
And you can too.

I highly encourage anyone with the opportunity to do it, DO IT!
It's worth it.
I hope this serve as a peace of mind to other thinking of going.

I know have a legal entry.
