Hi!

 

We are waiting on my husband's I-485 approval and received the EAD card that has Advanced Parole.

 

If we travel outside of the country and upon reentey into the US, would my husband need to fill out/apply for the ESTA or is the EAD/AP card enough?

 

I'm assuming there's no need for the ESTA, but haven't seen this answered anywhere, so I just want to be thorough and make sure.

 

Thanks!

You are correct that ESTA is not needed. ESTA is only for tourists seeking temporary time in the US. Your husband is not a tourist; he's an intending immigrant seeking permission to live and work permanently in the US. Therefore he is ineligible as his intentions are at odds with the point of ESTA. EAD/AP combo card (and his passport, of course) are all he needs.

You're good. EAD/ AP combo is all you need to present. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
