Laura is leaving to visit the UK for a few weeks. Of course she's taking her passport that has the various things attached, visa, I-94 etc., her AP form, and a copy of our marriage certificate (she kept her last name, so figure there's no harm in being prepared).

Our question is, do they take anything when she leaves or enters? They've done things wrong before at the POE so want to know what to expect.

Regards...

They are supposed to take the I-94 and replace it with a new one when you re-enter. Oh, and stamp your passport indicating that you have been re-paroled back into the US.

They are supposed to stamp one copy of your AP and give it back to you -- some people have reported them taking one copy and giving you back the second page with the stamp, others report being given back both pages. Either is fine.

That's all I can think of.

Both pages? Do you mean both copies? Laura's AP is two copies, one page each.

They usually keep one of the pages for the records and give you one back. THe guy I talked to told me to make a copy of the page I got back and bring that to the next POE. I did and the officer there stamped my original and kept the copy I had with me and told me to always make a copy from what I have and bring that to the next POE.

I made a copy of my AP and I got scolded by the officer I talked to for doing that. Then she sent me to secondary (which is normal), where my AP got stamped and I received both pages back. I honestly think they all get different manuals!!!

And you had the original with you as well? WOW. Yeah, I think they all operate a little different, but it worked for me twice with the copies...

Yep, I had my original and a colour copy of the original with me, and she was not happy that I had made a copy. Go figure!!
