My husband applied for AOS for his mother in June 2021. She entered from Haiti with inspection and overstayed by 10 years. She finally got her EAD/AP combo card today. I-485 is still pending with no interview date scheduled yet.

 

Do you think she would be safe to visit Haiti using AP? Or is it too risky because of her overstay? Would the possibility of a ten year reentry ban really be left up to the discretion of the CBP officer?

Her overstay is not relevant....If she has a VALID advance Parole document, she can re-enter the US.

Any opinions from others? Her husband is still in Haiti and is quite sick, and she would like to go visit him in August. Just want to make sure it's reasonably okay for her to go.

Agree

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

That is what AP is for. CrazyCat is 100% correct and gives trustworthy responses

Thank you so much. I was hoping Boiler or TBone would respond and agree. Sorry CrazyCat, not that I didn't trust you but I just like to hear from a few people. 😊 cheers.
