AP usage

[olutayo82 0]

Hello everybody,

can somebody assist me with this question. My Husband got his AP and we are using it to travel this weekend to Canada. How will it be treated when we get to the CAN-US border. Would he need his 1-94 that he got from the POE when he was initially coming in to th US with the K1 Visa or what is going to happen?

Thanks for the swift reply

I thought I had replied to this post... (I wonder where the heck I posted it!!)....

On the way out: He has to turn in his I-94 (at least this is what I did when I used my AP in Philadelphia)...

On the way back: he gives the Border Officer, the passport, AP (both copies), and a new I-94. He will get back, passport, AP (one copy) and I-94 all stamped with something that says: "paroled until xx date".

You want to take the following documents "just in case": wedding certificate, state ID, and NOA's, and if you have your appointment letter take a copy of that too.

Hope this helps...

And what with the Visa? I assume that, like me, everyone has a visa in his/her passport that expires after 6 months. Can we travel with AP after the expiration date?

Thanks for the heads up. I will take all necessary documents.We would be driving to CAN but flying back to the U.S. Will it still go through the same process?

What do you mean by Appointment letter

Wait...

I am assuming you are adjusting your status is that's why you're using the AP. You used your visa to enter the US (was it a K1 visa?), and it's good for ONE entry to the US.

The embassy at your home country should've voided your tourist visa, if you had one, and your K1 visa is only good for one entry.

What do you mean by Appointment letter

I meant interview appointment letter... as in your AOS interview.

Thanks for the heads up. I will take all necessary documents.We would be driving to CAN but flying back to the U.S. Will it still go through the same process?

I dunno about the driving part, but if you're flying back, then that's when you use your AP. On the way out, you dont really have to show it to anyone. I would figure you would turn your I-94 to the Border Officer.

Good luck...

Yes, I'm AOS, K1.

I see, my K1 visa was for one entry, and so now the AP will let me reenter.

Thanks!

Clownies,

Almost. The AP will let you into the country physically but not legally.

The distinction shouldn't be significant as long as you behave yourself.

Yodrak,

Would you please explain this distinction?

Thanks.
