DO IT !!
I want to share my experience with advance parole , I left a week ago , very emotional moment , made it to my hometown, seen my mom and my family , my father’s grave , connected with family, have a great time , coming back was almost smooth.. got a layover in Costa Rica taking the final flight to the states and checking in was hard , they won’t give me my boarding pass till check everything and it took 40 minutes, finally got it , when I got to ATL just walk 20 minutes to customs and get in visitors lane , hand my passport and my AP (not combo) she took my picture and fingerprints asked me where I went and how long , put the documents in a bag a they took me to secondary, I sat there for about 3 minutes and my name was call , they hand me my passport and my AP and told me welcome home !! so smooth!!! if you have fears on using your AP , DONT !! it’s a travel document, it was granted to you for a reason ! do it , it will change your life , I did with mine ! I did had doubts but this community helped me to overcome!! if you have advance parole .. use it !! thank you guys ! y’all have been a great support ! any questions just contact me !!

I was held up for an hour and a half at my point of departure, I almost missed my flight. It took a while for them to verify my AP. Now Im in Doha for my layover, waiting for my flight back to Philly. We’ll see how it goes for me. 🙏🏼

hi, no fuss at all at the Immigration at the Philly Airport. I did the regular arrival protocol then an officer just kindly escorted me to the Secondary Inspection room where I waited about 5mins. An officer at that room just asked me where I went and how long, and the purpose/reason of travel. Then he stamped my AP, and even cheerfully said “Welcome back to the United States”.

@cha a may i ask which country you went to? was there an issue when you left that country coming back to US?
hope for best 😊Aug 27, 2023

cha aAug 30, 2023
@dy dy Philippines. :)

@journey fellas hi, it was just a layover at Doha. No need to go through immigration unless you opted to go out of Doha airport or do sight seeing/transit tour.
dy dyAug 30, 2023
@cha a nice. planning to go there using the AP. whats the reason that it took awhile for them to verify the AP? what other documents you gave to the immigration officer in the PH?
cha aSep 2, 2023
@dy dy oh they were staff from Qatar Airways Cebu po, they needed to verify it from Qatar main office pa. My advice is use your AP. I just got back today, flew into JFK from Auckland,,it went smooth and no issue at all.
hope for best 😊Sep 6, 2023

@Cristian Aguilera was your advance document stamp?
Cristian AguileraMar 7, 2024
@Roselanda Toussaint yes ! document and passport, both times , I went back in December for 5 weeks and it was smooth
Roselanda ToussaintMar 7, 2024
@Cristian Aguilera I traveled and my Ap was stamped
paroled until March 3rd 2025 and I was wondering if they would allow me to travel again. Thank you 🙏
Cristian AguileraMar 7, 2024
@Roselanda Toussaint that’s a good question
Roselanda ToussaintMar 7, 2024
@Cristian Aguilera well I guess they will because you said they stamped your Ap document and passport both times and you were able to re enter .
Cristian AguileraMar 7, 2024
@Roselanda Toussaint but my AP wasn’t expired, I got it for multiple entries for a year and now I’d just receive another one till 2029
Roselanda ToussaintMar 7, 2024
@Cristian Aguilera that’s awesome news. my Ap is not expired also and it’s for multiple entries to so hopefully i am good .
