vawa advance parole
Hello everyone, I applied for adjustment of status though VAWA. I submitted I-485, I-360, I-765, and I-131. My I-485 shows that my fingerprints have been applied, my I-360 that it’s been received, my I-765 the fees were waived, and my I-131(advance parole) has been approved. I’ve read a lot of positive experiences of people who traveled with Advance parole but most of them have the combo EAD with advanced parole. Would I be ok to travel with ONLY the advance parole approval document? would I be denied reentry if at the port of entry I only show my passport and AP document? Also, would I trigger any unlawful presence ban if I travel with AP? my only status currently is that I have a work permit through DACA that expires next year. I really want to travel to my home county,Mexico, to visit my father but I’m very nervous about traveling under these circumstances. I asked my lawyer but she advises against international travel until my green card has been approve. Can anyone please share their thoughts and experiences. thank you #advanceparole #vawa

@louis Calvert at the port of entry do they only ask for AP document and passport? or do they ask also for EAD?

@careli. did you travelled?
careli pAug 20, 2022
hi, I did and came back without any problems. I was just asked where I lived and who I live with in the United States. they took me to the secondary room where I waiting for about 15 minutes since there were people in front of me. once the officer reviewed my documents, she stamped my advance parole document and handed back my AP, passport, and AP approved notice, and was told where to exit and to have a great day. I exited and went to grab my luggage.

@careli p . thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m travelling next month. the only I was worried was that I overstayed little bit before applying AOS vawa.
