Hi everyone,

I have to go back my home country for 2 months. I am going to use my Advance Parole to enter the USA.

Do you think that 2 months abroad is too much time and the office at the port of entry can deny me coming back?

Thanks

But they will most likely ask about it at the AOS interview, if your going with your honey, not as odd, but they asked my hubby why he was gone for a whole month back home. He does have a terminally ill father, and that satisfied the AOS officer, as well as it being a bit dangerous for me to go, so I didnt go with. Would have liked to tho. :(

I already had my interview. I wasn´t approved due the Name Check is pending.

Anyway............ I do have my Advance Parole and my concern is if 2 months abroad is not a lot of time outside the USA and someone at the port of entry can deny re enter the USA.

thanks! :yes:

No, the OP would not need that, since she has AP. The re-entry permit is for LPRs as I understand.

12-07-2005 Attempt at interim EAD at San Francisco office -- no go. Back to San Jose, where CSO (chief station officer) tells they will contact MSC via email to request permission to issue interim EAD

12-08-2005 Biometrics for AOS and EAD. Having no EAD appt letter was no problem (used EAD NOA)

i have just entered on the AP document.

They took me to the separate room.

The whole thing took 3 seconds, they didn't check anything.

As long as you have been legal all this time, you're fine, that's all what they care about.

Don't worry about the 2 months.
