Advance Parole
Hey Y’all I need your help .
I booked a flight from Africa through American Airline.They asked the visa number I put I-512L then they said no special character I ended removing a dash and they said verification will be done within 72 hours of boarding the flight.Anyone who had ever faced this?

@RJ Mo you have an A number every immigrant have an A number it should be on your Advance Parole. And advance Parole or not why would you risk traveling out of the country at this time to get stuck outside the US.
RJ MoApr 28, 2026
@Ann B thank you@S S yes it is based on 485 but under VAWA, I am not risking and I will not get stuck, the AP is for traveling they were not going to give me knowing it is not working don’t scare me please I will be successful.People travel everyday using Advance Parole @Liz Nara

For Advance Parole, airlines sometimes struggle because it is not a visa. I-512L is the right document type, but their system may require entry without special characters. Bring the original AP document, passport, I-485 receipt, and arrive early. Airline verification can take time.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!
