Advance Parole

To those who got a combo card- is AP valid for a year the same as EAD ? Can you travel multiply times on it?
I heard for DACA is different, but for the rest of us is one year. Can anybody confirm that for me please? I want to buy a ticket to go home in the summer.

hello every one.
anyone would help with this question? what questions are asked by customs agents upon returning? thank you!

Hello Everyone,
      As the day for my appointment gets closer I get more anxiety. One part of me can't wait and hopes that my AP is approved. However there is another part of me that can't stop thinking about it and is also scared. I just remembered that before I applied for DACA I had gotten two tickets in two different ocations, one was going on a red light and the other for running a stop sign. On both ocation "driving without a licesce" was also part of the ticket (ovbiosly i didn't have a license because at the time I didn't have DACA and therefore I couldn't get one.... I paid both tickets and a few years later applied for DACA and was approved. I know that they said that the type of tickets I had were not going to be an issue when applying for DACA but now I'm worried that it can be a problem when I try to come back with Advance parole. Will that be a reason no t tone let back in???? Can anyone who is familiar or has had similar experiences give me some feed back?????? thank you!

Hey guys I just came across this website and I am super happy for everyone who has been able to get AP. I had a question that maybe one of you would be able to answer. If you don't have any family members who are ill, would you be able to still het AP to visit a deceased parents grave??? All Grandparents passed away years ago and dad passed away years ago before this was an option. Would you still be able to get it under those circumstances ??/ I would appreciate any feedback and thank you.

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing great!
I have been waiting for my AP to be approved since November last year.
Now today a received the approval by now I'm stuck in confusion in whether I should travel outside of the country under the current administration. I had a voluntary departure case years ago but I never left. Now I have had DACA for twice now without any problems. So my question is has any one traveled outside of the country using AP and had a voluntary departure in their record,l and was allowed in again? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I wanted to share my experience with advance parole and hope this help you.

On March 11 I travel to Jamaica using AP, I have DACA for a few years now. My dad past away and I needed to travel. I didn't have a death certificate so I bring a copy of the autopsy as prove that he died and I also bring, a copy of my birth certificate, copy of my DACA approval notice, copy of passport, 2 copy of a passport picture taken at Walgreens copy of my work permit card, a week before my travel. I got approve the same day at a USCIS Field office. Bring copies of everything they will ask, I was well prepared.

If you're applying for an emergency AP you would of to go online to USCIS and make an INFO pass appointment.

Note: I did not have a lawyer, I did DACA, and AP myself. Do keep in mine that if you do have any kind of back ground you should talk to a lawyer before you applied.

I went to Jamaica on march 11, 2017 I fly through Miami INT Airport on a straight flight, I live in Tampa and it was my wife idea she thought it would be a long lay over if I fly out at Orlando INT.

3 Days Later on march 13, 2017 I went to the airport in Jamaica that's when I show my Advance Parole Paper for my return to the U.S.

I got on the flight no problem. When I got to Miami INT Airport I was so happy. This is a Huge airport with lots of walking. I got to the line with no waiting the CBP officer take my finger print, passport, and AP Papers, he ad a yellow or orange looking paper and tell me to follow him to a room.

There was a few other people waiting, so I waiting maybe 30 minutes are so then the CBP call my name I went up to the desk he ask how long I was out of the country for, I told "him 3 days I went to my dad funeral" he said to have a seat he will call me in a few minutes. about 3 minutes later he call me and give me my passport with my I-94 and that was it. on my way out of the airport a TSA officer ask to see my passport we had a nice conversation he told me that his best friend since high school have the same name as me, at first he was like you have DACA and I said yea.

NOTE: USCIS will give you 2 copies of ADVANCE PAROLE Paper unless you have multiple entrance the CBP officer wont give you a copy back, don't worry about that all you need to have is your I-94 in your passport. When you get home you can go on line and you should see it online. that's what I need and I say that I was in the system and date and time when I came back to the U.S

If you have any question feel free to ask..

Hey guys, I've been reading in AP for a while now and thought it be a good idea to ask for a little community insight. I'm a Honduran native with Honduran humanitarian TPS, no deportations or criminal background. I'm in the works to adjust my status through an attorney but need to leave and return with AP for a legal entry. My attorney has sent the AP form etc, now my question is this; I have a grandmother who has an illness, not terminal nor is she ailing, however she travels to the US frequently and I last saw her February. I submitted my AP request to travel to see my grandmother, however I'm planning on flying to Roatan, Honduras instead and just taking a mini vaca, instead of actually going to my grandmother's in the mainland. Where we're from is very dangerous and not safe at all, I don't know anyone there but her, transportation is an issue because it's the woods and it's just not safe period and don't want to put myself or my family at risk. Would me flying to a Roatan airport instead of the Tegucigalpa airport trigger any questions, suspicions, will specific questions be asked, have any of you been in this situation... etc. I'd appreciate any insight.

Hey guys, I just received my approval notice I-797 for AP yesterday 04-03-17. I was wondering if the validation period on there 04/05/2017-06/01/2017 are the same dates on my travel document I will be getting in the mail? (ALSO how long does it usually take to arrive after the approval notice)
I applied on November 11/15/2016 for the Nebraska office, specifically indicating I was pregnant and needed to see my sick father before I could no longer travel. I am due 05/15/2017. Right now I can't risk traveling so far along, and literally the date they specified on this notice is only two weeks after I give birth. (bummer)

Hello
Has anyone traveled with TPS/AP recently or is planing to do so ?
Please do write your experience

Hi everyone, question in regards to traveling with AP. Does one have to have a current application or plan to submit an application for change of status in the near future in order to travel with AP.

I have already been approved for AP but I do not have an immediate family member that would be able to petition for me other than continuing my DACA status after travel..
I know some officers will ask at the time of reentry how someone plans to adjust their status. Just wanting to prepare myself on what to answer.

Thanks in Advance for responses and advice.
