HI!

I need some help with filling out the Advance Parole form, if someone knows the answers, please share your experience:

1. Part 3. Processing Information: date of intended departure and expected length of trip - i have no clue when I will go back to my home country, i wanna have AP just in case. What should I put in?

2. Part 4. Information about your proposed travel - purpose of trip, list the countries you intend to visit. Ok....this one is a bit easier.....purpose to visit my family or maybe even make our religious wedding but not sure yet. List of countries, probably only my home country. But what if we decide to go somewhere else while being there? WIll they make me problems at POE if i did not list those countries when I filed for AP?

3. Part 7 - on a separate sheet of paper, explain how you qualify for AP doc...bla bla bla.... REALLY? Did anyone fill this out?

Looking forward for your replies. Thanks!

If filing with your Adjustment of Status:

Part 3: you can write UNKNOWN

Parts 4, 5 and 6 are skipped. NOTHING needs written in these parts here, they are just left blank. The instructions at the bottom of page 2 of the form actually tell you to skip to part 7.

Part 7: No separate sheet of paper needed. No explanation is needed when filing AP with your AOS.

It does not contradict the instructions.

No explanation or reason is needed when filing the I-131 with a pending I-485 as an adjustment applicant. It states this in the instructions on page 8.

See the OR between #2 and #3. If you are filing the I-131 with the I-485, then you need nothing. If filing the I-131 after the I-485, then no reason statement and a copy of the receipt notice from filing the I-1485 is all you need.

c. Advance Parole Document
If you are in the United States, you must attach:
(1) A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status, if any, in the United States; and

(2) An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an Advance Parole
Document; or

(3) If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the
adjustment application;

Also, right on the form itself, at the bottom of page of 2 it states this : If you are applying for a non-DACA related Advance Parole Document, skip to Part 7

An adjustment applicant does not fill out Part 4 stating a reason and purpose of their travels, and you do not need to supply the extra statement.

Leave date and length blank, then hand-write Unknown for those after printing out the form.

~ Moved from Social Security Numbers to AOS from Family Based Visas - topic is applying for AP along with AOS ~
