I am in a similar scenario. I was told that we can return on Advance Parole if the green card gets approved while outside the country. However, no visibility on if it gets rejected. Did your status change to fingerprints taken after RFE response was acknowledged? If yes, your approval must be very near.

Not a problem at all, i have travelled on AP 4 times on short visits like 3 weeks to a month. No questions at POE , be ready for secondary room which is absolutely normal, no questions other than any cash, any food etc

HI SPS S - status changed to finger prints taken after RFE response was received.

I travelled twice on AP via istanbul without any issues please check if AP is acceptable via Europe.

ok . thanks

is it still safe to travel in advance parole after the recent policy memo?

@vik jo, I got a notice indicating we need to pay 1000$ for immigration parole fee. Did you not get charged for that? Are EB1 ppl exempt? Any idea who needs to pay this 1K$?

@S Y - I received the notice but not applicable for us, didn’t ask anything at POE, not for us actually

I haven’t got any notice on the immigration parole fee

@vik jo, good to know they never asked about this. not sure why they issued it to us?

@S Y -With pending I485 are exempt from this, refer point no 7 on Page no 2

Thanks @vik jo for sharing this. That should be the reason for us to be excluded. I missed that point in the document.
