Travelling To Philippines with Advance Parole

[fgadl 1]

Ah yes, the interview waiver.. always seems to delay the issuance of the GC. We had the interview, two weeks after that the card arrived, total time from filing to GC about 4 months.

Yeah, I was excited when I got the combo card, then I saw the waiver letter my hopes of having GC soon vanished hehe.

Delta, bcos of my husbands work we'll fly standby so it'll be cheaper.

We're in Fort Mohave near Bullhead City, but we'll move again this coming October I think.

I know the area, been up that way on the bike a couple times.

I am looking at Delta also, the flight that leaves Phoenix to Denver then Japan doesn't seem to have too long of layovers.

We'll check out that flight, my husband used Delta when he visited me before. He is worried about me leaving the country with just the AP though

Hi! Before I start my inquiries here i just want to thank you everyone here who helped me with detailed and informative facts on my K-1 visa journey especially to Hank...

And now I want to be enlightened as I dont want to have problems re entering USA using my Advance Parole as I will travel to Philippines by January 2015. My conditional greencard is still on process..I did try searching and come up with this specific questions though I know these may have been asked many times here. Just want peace of mind...

1.) How long am I allowed to stay in the Philippines using Advance Parole? 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months or I could stay as long as my AP is not expired? Do not stay any longer than 30 days. You stay any longer and red flags appear to immigration that it looks like you are abandoning your I-485.

2.)My name on the plane ticket and my passport name should match? Passport is still in single name. Always, Always buy your ticket with the current full name on your passport. They must match. Hank has given you some good information on this topic. If you are now married and still have your passport with maiden name carry along your MC when traveling.

3.) Should not it be a problem or raise a red flag re entering USA even if i have AP because I filed my AOS after 6 months I arrived here? In other words I didnt file AOS right away within the 3 months. No there will not be any problems because of your late application.

4.) What other documents should I bring aside passport, plane ticket, EAD/AP card? I've read to bring marriage certificate but should I need another paperwork aside from EAD/AP card or is it enough? You will only need your passport, EAD/AP combo card, MC and a copy of the I-485 (receipt). Your I-485 information is in their computers and they will probably check to see that it is still valid and processing but if it were me, I'd carry with me. That's it.

Your answers are highly appreciated.. Thank you!
