Advance Parole

I travelled on Advance parole in July 2017 from Eastern Europe back to the US. It was the time when it was difficult to travel for many people because of the newly appointed administration in the White House. I was a little afraid as most of you probably are. I flew from Madrid to New York City and I remember it was a horrible experience during the time where I had to wait for my American Airlines flight. Please, avoid this airline if you can, use it only for domestic flight!!! In Madrid people did not know what was an Advance Parole so you have to explain to them. I had a green card application pending at the time. In Eastern Europe people also don't know what an Advance Parole is, but I managed to get into the flight. As I arrived at JFK Airport I had to use the visitors line in order to proceed and I remember I had to wait a loooooong time and I desperately needed to go to the restroom, I was ready to explode. After literally 2 hours wait my time came, the officer saw my documents and took me to the small room where there was a podium and chairs in front. I told the officer that I need to use the restroom and he replied that the processing officer was there. I was ready to explode. Anyway, he came, he saw my paperwork, checked me online on the computer, gave me my passport and parole and said: "Have a nice day!" and that was it. I went to take my bags and went straight home. Before I left for Europe I did get the phone numbers of my lawyer and staff. If you have no criminal background or arrests there shouldn't be any issues using the parole. This is all I can say.
