My experience traveling with AP
I just came home today from South Africa .I used Qatar airlines from Capetown connecting in Doha.The person at the count in Capetown did not know what an AP is but he quickly asked his manager in 5 minutes time they gave me my boarding passes to board the flight.In Doha they did know what an AP (paper) is so they did not ask me anything.
I landed in DFW , the CBP took me to secondary inspection for parole.The person who he handed my documents to interviewed me for whole two hours after interview he took my Iphone and my laptop searched everything including the conversation I did four years back he showed them to me.
After that he took my fingerprints and a photo and paroled me.
Was it a terrible experience?Yes.
Will I go again back and see enter using AP ?A big YES.I’m now stronger than ever.

Hello everyone,
I would like to file a Writ of Mandamus on my own (without an attorney) against USCIS regarding my asylum-based green card application.
I filed my Form I-485 about 20 months ago, and since then I have not received any meaningful update or decision.
Has anyone here successfully filed a Writ of Mandamus pro se (without a lawyer)? If so, I would really appreciate it if you could share the steps, any templates you used, or any advice that could help me through the process.
Despite the long delay, I remain patient and have faith. I truly believe that taking this step will, God willing, bring me closer to finally receiving the decision I've been waiting for after such a long time.
Thank you all in advance for your help and support. I sincerely hope everyone here receives the immigration benefits they have been waiting for.
hello can you help me please what it’s mean they actualize by fingerprinting another time it’s good ?
