My experience Traveling With Advance Parole
I want to begin by saying: TRAVEL IF YOU WANT TO. 90% of people on this app will scare you to death. I travel to Canada for 15 days and when I got to the airport, to drop my baggage and get my boarding pass, they asked for my green card, I told them I had my AP, they said oh yes we can get that and your passport. They scanned it alongside my passport and gave me my boarding pass. Then I dropped my bags. Went through security, they checked and told me since you’re traveling with AP you have to go through the secondary inspection. She walked me there and I waited 2min before getting called. The officer was really nice: “Good evening ma’am, first time traveling with AP? I told him Yes. He said oh I see that’s why there’s no stamps in your passport. I’ll stamp it and it’s good for a year. Every time you travel you’ll stop here so we can stamp it and that’s it. What was the purpose of your trip? I said visiting family. He said: I hope you had a good time. I said Yes with a smile. Then he said: Glad to hear that. Welcome back home. I said thank you. And told him I was scared of traveling and he smiled he said I hear this a lot. As long as you have your AP and you don’t have a criminal case pending against you, you are free to go in and out. You were issued an AP for that reason so use it. I said; yes that’s true. Thank you and Good night. He said: You’re most welcome with a smile. And that was it. #vawa #travel #advanceparole #i512

3.5 years later and GC finally approved 😭(after interview)
hi guys! my time has finally come!!! I was so worried the last 2 months but everything worked out. I’m going to tell you guys how my interview went because I searched high and low and couldn’t find much. so I had posted here that I felt that my case wasn’t right, because instead of approval they just said biometric applied, so a couple of weeks later my lawyer told me that they scheduled an interview back in the state where I applied my vawa (which I don’t live there anymore) and she told me that they could refuse to take my interview because I moved and send me to do one where I live now. or I could just have 2 interviews, you never know… we would only know on the day and she didn’t want to miss it because we could be lucky and they would just do my interview, again, you never know.. so the day of my interview was the 15th, had my lawyer with me, my appointment was at 9am, we waited around 15min until the officer called us in, he asked for my identification, and started the questions, confirmed that my case was a vawa, asked my last date of arrival in the us and if I ever left the country after I arrived (which was no), asked if I was ever convicted of any crime, if I was ever in front of a immigration judge (all no), if I was still married (no) asked for the record, asked if my spouse was an American citizen (which she wasn’t at the time, now I have no idea), then proceeded to confirm I had said yes to working without autorization and that I said yes that I violated the terms of my visa, he asked how long I worked without authorization and why I violated the terms of my visa (overstayed and worked without authorization), he then asked when me and my spouse separated (I asked if it was the divorce and he said no, so I said the date) my lawyer later said he couldn’t have asked that but he didnt ask a lot of questions and felt it was ok not to intervene, he then proceeded to tell me he wrote everything down and asked me to sign the 485 that the interview was done 🙏🏼😭 my lawyer confirmed he had my medicals and also gave him my 864 (I believe) in case they needed it, he said yes and ok. printed a piece of paper and handed to me and my lawyer, he said we were done with the interview, he would do another check and if I wasn’t a spy lol or committed any crime I should be good and would hear back from them in about 3/4 weeks, asked if I had any questions I said no, and he walked us out. I felt such a relieve, everything was around 15min and my lawyer said everything went great. I was just thinking that I would be refreshing the app for the rest of the week and 10min after the interview he approved my case. GOD BLESS THIS MAN!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 if you’re on the process just wait and that your turn is coming, the feeling of everything finally looking good after all that frustration is unbeatable! 🤍✨ #vawa #greencard #interview
