ADVANCE PAROLE ON OVERSTAYED VISA
Hello my friends in journey, I’m here to relate my story and give some of you peace of mind during this time in need and waiting. Let me start off by saying you CAN Travel on Advance Parole even if you previously over stayed your visa. Our case has been with USCIS since 6/6/22, we have gotten work permit only back in December 2022, since then none of our other concurrent application have had any updates. So with that being said we decided to apply of an emergency advance parole. I call USCIS number asked for info pass and got to an agent, this was on 6/9/23 Friday. it took 72 business hours to get a call frok an agent from our local office which then gave us an appointment . we went to the appointment and where granted a 2 month Advanced Parole Document. Let me tell you emotions where flying all over the place, once we had I512L in our hand now came the debate of weather we used it or not. after reading many many stories we decided to give it a shot and risk it being that my wife hadn’t seen her family in over 6 years. WE TRAVEL…… We came back last night 6/27 landed went through customs, agent was super courteous, once he processed everything took us to secondary inspection to finished process. we sat at secondary for 5-6 minutes, an officer then called my wife name, no questions asked simply said your good to go your passport has been stamped . That officer was so nice hr even offered to make a copy of the advanced parole document they keep so we could have record of it as well. Now from our experience ADVANCE PAROLE works, Thanks to the Lord our process went smoothly, it also created a chian of events while we where out of the country our case started moving so now we have sent RFE, and waiting .Please ask if you need more info….
