When I was travelling from Bombay to Newark,NJ with a stopover in London,I was not allowed to board the plane because according to the authorities at bombay airport I cannot go to UK JUST on advance parole even though my stopover was just for 2hours.I had not renewed my H1 visa since I have my EAD.Luckily I had a 10 years tourist visa because of which they allowed me to board the plane.
       I would advise anybody who is just going on AP to take either a non-stop flight or to do a detail research about the parole laws of that country besides just the transit visas.

I heard many time that was very risky to reenter to the States with the AP.

The first time I arrived , was very late on nigth I was sent to THE ROOM and it was empty.I spent no more that five minutes to be ready to claim my bags.

The second time I arrived at 6pm , THE ROOM was full I need to wait two hours until my turn arrived. The problem is not the AP , the problem is the number of people on THE ROOM.

I learned the experience and in following trips I tried to arrive very late on nigth.

My recomendation, arrive with a good book to read,by patient and you will never have problems.

I just had to show AP with passport&visa at the airport. that's all. I had a little problem with them. they said they never seen this kind of document before. so, they went to talk with someone who might be a bigger position to see this paper. it was happen at the airport in my country and airport in chicago.
so, about England, just the same, show it whenever you have to show your passport.

hi

would really appreciate if you can tell me whether i would require transit visas while travel thorough UK or Franfkurt airports if I have Advance Parole?
I would be travelling to India in November and have to take connecting flights through Frankfurt or Heathrow.

Thanks.

my approve ap document got lost in the mail so i was to to reapply, which i did. the second ap document came much quicker than the first probably because i included a letter stating this was my second 1, but this 1 came with my name spelled incorrectly but i still used it and its been fine at the port of entry

Does any one know what happens if I lost my AP? Can I used I-824 to request a duplication?

Hi,

Does anyone have any info whether we can re-apply for a new AP after the first one expired. The first AP was valid from Sept 04-Sept 05....

Thanx,

do you know the USA address of WWICS?

I'm arranging a law suite againt WWICS, if you are interesting please let me know

Please do not deal with WWICS. Their fees is very high but their service stinks. I had one of the worst experiences of my life with them. Trust me you dont want to have anything to do with them. I was anxious about applying for a greencard and was looking for well established company who have done the greencard process so many times that it had become a routine process for them. They messed it up so many times that INS returned my papers many times. When I asked them apply for my advance parole they delayed and dragged their leg on it and sent it to wrong center that I could not go to India for my own wedding.

HAving had trouble getting AP approved in time we finally went to our congressman, his assistant made an immediate call and we got what we needed. He was really helpful. I recommend this route for all trouble in relation to similar enquiries.

Finally we went to our wedding and had NO TROUBLE AT ALL ON RE-ENTRY. The immigration guy said that we could leave and re-enter once a month safetly.

Do not listen to all the scare stories and live your life as you should, not within the "I wouldn't leave" attorney speak....thats my advice. If we had listened to 99% of the advice we would have had to cancel our formal wedding and miss out on a really significant event in our lives.

Thats my tuppence, good luck to all.
