Traveling to Saudi Arabia
Hi.

A couple of days ago I received my EAD and AP Card. I am planning to travel back to my family in Saudi Arabia for a visit. I am nervous. The card comes with instructions saying that the borders guys can refuse my parole into the States upon my return. I am a spouse of a US citizen who applied for AOS with my B1/2 visa. Am I gonna get in trouble? Does anyone have a similar situation and successfully returned? I also have no conditions on my EAD/AP. That's a good thing right?

Combo card package include?
Hi everybody,
I have a question hoping those you recently recieved Combo Card can tell me.

Did USCIS send you guys ?
1. i765 approval notice
2. I131 approval notice
3. Combo card.

Or do you guys recieved something else like:
4. A copy to CBP officer
5. A copy to transportation

I am very confused because I only received 1,2,3 yet athier people talk about 4.5 (I am not sure if they applied EAD and AP after USCIS approved one another.)

Any sharing would be appreciated

Houston > CDMX
Im flying this Friday from Houston to Mexico city and coming back on the 25th. I am a little nervous not gonna lie...i have a misdemeanor in my record (case was dismissed long time ago). I am taking the risk as i have read so many successful stories and not one bad experience...

I will keep you guys updated. I think I'm more excited than nervous.
Good luck to everyone!
Cheers!

Leaving Next Week From Houston
Hi Everyone!
In less than a week I will take off to Mexico City with advance parole. I am excited, yet nervous at the same time.
My family is a bit on the edge about this.
Those of you went, did you all experience similar feelings from family members?
I am taking my brother, he's a U-S citizen.
I have my tickets bought and I am ready.
I've read so many success stories, I hope I can come back and share the same.
Quick question -- Those who have traveled -- how did you all over come nerves?
I have a clean record.
I will keep you all posted.
Thank you!

Still haven't received
Hi guys. My husband applied through a lawyer for his advance parole with DACA back in November of 2016 to visit his sick grandfather. It has still not been approved. We were hoping to get it approved before his DACA expires the end of this year...has anyone else had there's take this long? Or know why it may be taking so long? I've been religiously checking the website to check on it and it only says it's been received by the local office.

Travel with advanced parole
Hi everyone here, I've been a silent member since 2015, pd for i130,i485 was sept 2015 and interview was November 2016. Till date, I haven't heard anything or got a result of my interview. I have raised several SR but all 5 of them say they're running background checks/review. I'm about to renew my EAD for the second time as well as my advanced parole. I intend to travel from the last week of July to the 1st week of September but I'm skeptical about it because people keep warning me not to take the risk. I've heard stories of people who have travelled and had no problems. Mind you, my field office is Houston and I have no criminal record or background. Has anyone ever travelled with their EAD that long after being out of status and came back without any issues? I'm willing to take the risk but again, is it worth taking is another question. Anyone with a similar experience, please advise me. Thank you.

AP APPROVED
Got the standard status of " Document was mailed to ME" which meant it was approved. For a minute I was thinking it was a denial. But after some research online on all the forums I read lead to answers with an approval. I will be traveling this June 17 and coming back on June 20th. We are visiting her grandfather which currently is ill . I am keeping my stay short due to the fact of anything changing with the trump administration. It's very terrifying leaving the county , but it's a risk I am willing to take for my future. Since my first DACA WAS APPROVED in 2014 I have renewed twice with no issues. I am married to my wife she is a us citizen! Been married 4 years and together almost 10 years with 2 kids. There is a petition already in play since last year in November 2016.

I am taking a small folder with all my approvals and also my AP LETTERS and keeping copies at home for future records! My lawyer also stated to take my drivers license and my Mexican passport along with my work permit.

Look guys I am as nervous as you guys are but if immigration really wanted to end daca they would have done it by now. I honestly think it's no going nowhere. Just be very positive. We are not braking any laws if anything we are obeying their terms and conditions with these AP documents.

I will be leaving from Tijuana airport and arriving to Mexico City airport through VOLARIS. It's a round trip with the same airline. If anybody can shine some light about their experience coming back through Tijuana. That would really help a lot and ease some nervousness.

Thanks I will be updating when I return. GOD BLESS TO ALL DURING THIS PROCESS

Returned!
Okay, my fiance has been back for a couple of days now and I've finally had time to process everything. Here's how his timeline went:

Submitted Paperwork to Lawyer: October 24, 2016. His great-grandma has diabetes, hypertension and is pretty old. He needed a doctor's note, his birth certificate, as well as his mother's, his grandmother's and his great-grandmother's. Make sure your documents are translated and easy to follow - he had to get his translated twice because they were difficult to follow because his family basically recycled names for three generations so it was hard to tell who was who after a bit.

USCIS Received Paperwork: January 3rd (Lawyer INSISTS he sent it in October..we will never know what happened for sure. This was honestly the worst part, finding out that we had to wait yet another three-four months).

"My Name Was Updated" : May 10

Approved: May 11

Received Paperwork for travel: May 27th.

Left through JFK: May 29

Returned: June 2. Plane landed at 1:07 am, and at 2:20 he was in the car on the way home with me! The officers asked him standard questions, and he said the whole thing went very smoothly.

Now, does anyone know if he has a specific time frame in which to adjust his status? Or since he has the inspection now, is he good to go?

AP approval and question
Hello,

I recently got approved for AP. My AP is valid from June-November, but on the CBP use only section it states "parole valid until:One Day. I asked my lawyer about it and she stated that i'm only allowed to leave the country for 24 hrs.

Has anyone had the same issue? please let me know asap, thank you in advance.
