Thank you. I would disagree that it is more than just economical now. Yes, the economy is in shambles, but the threats and violence continue. My brother-in-law left for Costa Rica right before New Years after having "plomo" spray painted on his house. Managua, where we live, is highly militarized. It is completely "normal" to see hundreds of heavily armed paramilitaries during a weekday morning. 

Thankfully my family is not in Managua but close to the border to Honduras. For them it's more economical. I would not stay near Managua at all. I know - I have seen the paramilitaries in Managua!

Hi I think the better way to enter the US is with a spousal visa. Yes there is a wait and I know that the conditions in Nicaragua are awful right now. However it calmed down a little bit and it's more of an economical strain right now. I suggest to file I-130 for your spouse and wait out the process with him in Nicaragua if you can. You also need to establish domicile at some point, just something to keep in mind.

I wish you all the best. Hang in there.

Well I'd you're scared don't go. But advanced parole is designed to let you back in after travel. 

I meant if not I'd 

I came back on AP last August and had no issues whatsoever

Hi I don't recall receiving a document they stapled into the passport. I traveled through Atlanta coming from Nicaragua in August and they put a stamp in my passport which stated that I was paroled in. Being pulled into secondary inspection is normal for Advance Parole and it might still happen on a Green Card as well. Thank you for sharing your experience  

Hi I traveled on AP this August and was let back in without issues.

My lawyer told me I can apply AP and re-entry legally with no problem!!

Hello I'm an overstay who traveled on AP and got paroled back in. No issues at all. All the best to you and your family. 

Hello I just want some information if people from Nicaragua currently can seek asylum in the States if that individual is already in the States? Would the protests etc make a good case? I know they have been calming down and the last time I was there in July and August it already seemed calm. What happens if an asylum petition gets denied? Does this person get deported? Which forms need to be filed for an asylum petition? I'm only looking for information right now.

Why people are so 'desperate' to immediately go home and travel after just having dealt with the long wait to get here in the first place is beyond me; but regardless, if you have AP, then you're fine. That's what it's for, travel and re-entry. As noted, immigrations has final say on entry, always has been that way. It isn't because of the "current climate", i laugh about that all the time. Again it's been this way for years and years. So either take the "chance" or "risk" to travel, or just wait until you have your green card. Pretty simple stuff.

Ouch. That hurt.

In my case I had previously overstayed for five years and I needed to see my family especially my child who lives in my home country. 

I returned in August and I was paroled in without any issues. 

Hi there I was able to travel on AP and I came back without problem. 

I wouldn't stay outside the US for too long though. I only left for 2 weeks. 

Yes 

He does not have to leave. File AOS as soon as possible. Include Form I-765 for the work permit and also I-131 just in case you need to travel.

I just traveled and returned on AP and my renewal is pending. My current AP is still valid. We'll see what happens. 

I haven't flown from England but I recently came back to the States with advanced parole without an issue.

I check processing times and my area says 26 months. I have written to a senator with no replies and service inquiry has gone unanswered. Not sure what else I can do to speed up the process of the green card, maybe have her come in illegally and ask for asylum. 

NOT a good idea. Just wait it out. 

I just traveled with AP after I overstayed and I was let back in without issues. Secondary inspection is standard procedure for AP so maybe you want to let her know. 

I hope she will have a safe trip home. 

I just came back on AP last Saturday without issues.

It's the formal expiration of your parole status, but you still have the quasi-status granted by your I-485 to fall back on.

Thank you so much for this explanation. Like I said I couldn't find any answers. When I try to google it, the results only talk about how to apply for AP but that's not what I needed to know. Thanks again!

By the way the entry was super easy and they didn't even ask any questions. They gave my passport and EAD card back to my spouse and said "you are good to go" while I was in the restroom. 😁

Nothing, provided your I-485 hasn't been denied (so has been approved or is still pending).

So I don't have the leave the country after that date if my AOS happens to be still pending then? What does the expiration date in my passport mean then?

I do but my passport says Paroled in for one year and has the date of August 3rd 2019. What happens after that date?

So I just came back from my travel and I was paroled back into the States for one year until August 3rd 2019.

What happens after that date if I don't have my green card by then? What do I need to apply for then? Or how long before that and for what?

I can't find the answer to this question anywhere.

Like others said, only US citizens are guaranteed entry. A few years ago I used my AP to travel to my home country and after 2 months abroad, at my POE I was sent to secondary inspection. The officer inspecting me allowed me re-entry but gave me a hard time just for being in my home country for 2 months visiting my family. And then or now I don't have any criminal records, not even a speeding ticket. 

Thanks God now I'm a US citizen and I won't have to worry about this kind of travel issues on my return.

Does a speeding ticket prevent you from coming back in if you paid it in full?

Gosh.

Was that in response to my post? If so, why?

Hello I entered the US on a visitor visa in the beginning of 2013. At that time I was given a paper I-94. In the meantime I got married and my spouse is applying to adjust status for me. I already have received my EAD/AP. Now I'm getting ready to travel on AP and I would like to know if I need to bring my paper I-94 along? I checked online at i94.cbp.dhs.gov and my records cannot be found. Thanks in advance  

Since it's been so long the record can't be found online.
