Advanced Parole and CBP and long unlawful presence

[Paula111 11]

Hi is there anyone in this forum who was granted rentry on a valid Advanced Parole by CBP after over 10 years (16 exactly ) of unlawful presence in this Country? 

I read of many being granted rentry by CBP without problems after one or two years of u lawful presence with a valid Advanced Parole document, but I havent read of anyone being granted rentry after over 10 years with no stamps on their present or previous passports..

I already know of the Matter of Arrabally but that case is different, they were already readmitted into the US by CBP and they appealed USCIS decision from here and won.

So please once again, is there anyone out there who attempted rentry into the Country on an Advanced Parole after over 10 years of unlawful presence and passed CBP inspection?

Not after 10 years but 5 years of overstay. Sorry I can't help much.

A valid AP document trumps any overstay, does it not?

It should

Thank you, do you know how many years of overstay did they have?

I seem to recollect a couple over 10 years.

When you're not a citizen, the risk of being denied entry is always there. 

 

That said, you have the document that allows you to travel and it was issued precisely to let you travel. 

 

In my very personal view, what others in your same circumstances have experienced will have no weight when you try reentering, as it is always up to the CBP agent.

 

I guess what you need is reassurance, but this is a matter of weighing what's stronger: your need of traveling abroad or the fear of being denied entry.

Then why even grant advance parole?????  I have never heard of anyone with a valid AP document being denied strictly because of previous overstay.......and I know that thousands enter with AP every year.....

That is encouraging thank you!

Well it is a bit tricky, Advanced Parole can be approved by USCIS but they state the immigrant must be sure to qualify before applying for such document, at his own risk.

With unlawuful presence the immigrant does not qualify for rentry, at the discretion of CBP at port of entry.

Now, I know of plenty of ppl, like you do, who were approved for Advanced Parole and travelled with such document even if they accumulated unlawful presence, but none of them had accumulated over 10 years like me:(

Boiler is the first one I heard of..

I remember many years ago, before these court cases, there would be many threads on here where people could apply and get AP and then found out they could not get back in. Sort of like those leaving after having entered on a K1 and not obtained AP at all. If you applied for it and qualified you were issued it, they do not check or have any concern if you should or should not use it.

 

I did use AP but I know there is a legal view that you are silly do so, apart from anything else you are paroled in not admitted.
