    Best explanation and story I found so far!
    Question: did they ask you for any other documents(papers) in US when you came back?

    • @myeb2niw
      @myeb2niw  4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Thank you so much. They only asked for 2 things: our travel passport and the advance parole document ( in our case it was the EAD combo card) they took those 2 documents to their office and asked us to have a seat ( by the way we had to seat in the secondary screening area because this process takes a few minutes and they didn’t want to hold up the customs and immigration line with this). We sat there for about 15 minutes and then one of the officers brought our documents back and said “welcome back !” .

    I would like to go back to my country (Europe) to visit my family for a month but i’m afraid when i’m re-entry to US they going to denied me becasue before i got married my status was overstayed.
    Do you think is a high risk to leave the US?

    Hello! USCIS updated status for travel docs to 'Advanced Parole was Produced' However, for the EAD, there hasn't been an update on the website since March. We filed for both at same time. I saw in comments something about a combo card. Is there a chance USCIS has processed both at same time??

    • @myeb2niw
      @myeb2niw  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Usually if you apply for an EAD Card and advance parole at the same time, you get an EAD Card that also serves as an advance parole document. This is called the combo card. Let us know when you receive it! Congratulations!!! Also they sometimes don’t update the online profile adequately

    Thank you so much for your consideration. You are so nice.
    My question is : I ve recently renewed my EAD card but it is not written "Advance Parole" in the bottom. Because i had not applied for I-131 then,the total cost of both documents had stopped me to do this at that time and I had decided to apply to EAD at first.I ve paid for EAD 410$ and I got it now. So my question is ; If i apply now I-131 (Advance Parole) should i do payment for that ? if yes how much? Is there any policy that if you pay for your EAD you can freely submit to your Travel Document as well? Thanks!

    • @myeb2niw
      @myeb2niw  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, the advance parole document acts like a visa to let you in when you return to the US. Traveling on advance parole, all you need is your valid passport and the advance parole document (In your case the EAD combo card). Travel restrictions may be in place due to COVID-19, based on location, so double-check that. Additionally, please note that your admittance to the US is typically at the discretion of the immigration officer at the airport; or port of entry. in our experience, we did not have much of an issue, except being delayed for a while at the airport by the immigration officers while they ran their required checks.

      A little confused. Advance parole is I-131 do you mean I-130? If so everyone will receive a notice for the next steps. I am guessing your I-140 has been approved ? If so the next step for you should be the adjustment of status and the next step for the husband would be consular processing.

      you have to realize that there are individuals with approved I-140's who cannot get their green cards because their priority date is not current (Indian and Chinese nationals). Some of these individuals regularly travel using their advance parole documents.
      yes there is a risk, if you travel while your application is pending on advance parole documents if your application gets denied while you are outside the US then that would be problematic.
      also every time you come into the US using advance parole document the decision to admit you into the US rests with the officials.

      Yes, I'm glad you can still submit that. Remember not i-765 (that's the application for employment authorization). send a copy of Form I-797C Notice of Action showing that the I-485 was received by USCIS. You should have gotten that in the mail after I-485 was submitted and received by USCIS.
      on a separate note, i-765 can be submitted for free with i-485. if you haven't already done that, you can include it with your i-131 and turn those in. this will enable you to have a valid EAD card to work (usually valid for 1 year) while your adjustment of status process is going on.

    Omg thank you so much for all your good informations .. I have a question please is the Combo card have expiration date ?? Also do you have to come back to US after you travel with it within specific time ?? I really appreciate you

      Yes it does! IT is usually written on the card. Mine was valid for 1 year. The card is to enable you travel (advance parole) and work (EAD) while your application is pending. hope that that helps
