Hey Everyone,

I am a Canadian Citizen currently in the USA. I entered the country in February and we decided to get married in March so we could start the immigration process. A few weeks ago, I received my combo card (Employment Authorization Card with Advance Parole) and was wondering if I would have any issues traveling back to Canada for a family wedding (for just over a week).

I realize there are other threads, however the ones I have come across have dealt with situations involving K1 or H1B visas - neither of which I have!

Would very much appreciate any advice!

Thanks :)

The only issue I can see would be if you happened to receive a notice for your GC interview during that timeframe.

The biggest problem with AP is that if you have ANY overstay then you can't use it even though it was issued to you (you'd think USCIS would simply not issue AP to anyone with Overstay issues).

You don't have any overstay so your shouldn't have a problem as long as you can return in time for the interview (if needed).

You won't have any problems going into Canada, but you will be pulled into secondary when you enter into the U.S. They need to process your paper work. Bring both copies of your AP. They will keep one copy and give you back the other, stamped. If you travel again, you just need the one copy and they will stamp it again. If you are travelling by air, give yourself extra time for the secondary inspection.

PS. What Bob 4 Ana says about the overstay is valid as far as I know.

Hi Gypsyangel, I don't have any copies of my AP, I just received a combo card - will this suffice or do I need to get additional documentation? Thanks!

Combo card is brand new. You use this.
