Advance Parole

[NiceGrL 0]

My Advance Parole says, valid till July 2006 but on the stamp below by the officer, it says, paroled till April 2007. Does this mean, I can use it to travel outside of U.S. until then? I don't have to re-apply for another one, right? Please advise. Thank you .

I am afraid you'll have to apply for a new AP. The stamp means that you are paroled into the US till April 2007. (It's like your visa was expiring but you were admitted beyond the expiration date)

That's crazy coz by this time I am supposed to have received my green card which they haven't mailed it to me yet, so I have to re-apply for EAD ($180) and now the AP ($170) which is a total rip-off! Sorry, I'm just ticked off right now. But thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it! I'm going to apply for it to be on the safe side coz who knows how long they'll take to issue me the GC. Thanks again. Cheers .

If you've been approved AOS, you need to go to the local office and try to get a I-515 stamp if you need a proof of your status before GC arrives. If you are permanent resident, you don't need EAD and AP (and may not be approved anyway).

When was your interview?
