Advance Parole Renewal
Hello everyone,
I got my combo card (EAD + I-512 Advance Parole) in September 2023 after waiting for six months and I'm still waiting for my Green Card. My Combo Card (EAD) is valid for two years. However, the notice I received with the combo card states under Advance Parole: “As long as your EAD card has not expired, you may use it multiple times to request parole into the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can parole you into the U.S. for up to one (1) year."
My understanding is that my Advance Parole is only valid for one year regardless of the EAD card's validity. However, my lawyers are insisting that everything is valid for two years because it says so on my EAD.
Has anyone experienced this situation before? My main worry is traveling abroad after one year and not being able to return to the US.
Thank you!!!

your lawyer is very right . I used my EAD card which also serves as 512 twice. it was valid for 2 years and I travelled twice without difficulties.
unless you have a separate parole , if it’s a combo card then the same day it expires both expires

Thanks @Charlie The Fantastic 5 and @Noah Henry
Did your Advance Parole notice say “up to one year” as well? and have you travelled abroad past one year of receiving it?

@Paula N. Your AP is valid for 2 year, the CBP can only parole you into US for only one year. When you use it again within the validity period, the CBP stamp it for a year again.

@Paula N. Why do you believe your card is valid for 1 year only?
