Travel tips for Advance parole. Held a K1 visa

[SMT 0]

Hello, I came on a K1 Visa and married my US citizen Fiancee within 90 days and filed AOS, EAD and advance parole. My I-485 is pending with approved EAD and Advance parole. Iam planning to travel out of country for 10 days to bring our US citizen daughter back to USA.

When I travel out of country do I need to handover either original or Copy of my Advance Parole to airlines authorities at Port of departure as we do for travellers with Valid I-94 ?( I have approved Multiple entry Advance parole. USCIS has sent me 2 copies)

How will the USCIS know that we are travelling out of country. It says if you dont travel with an approved advance parole, ur abandoining the I-485 application to adjust status to permanent residence right.

what shld people with approved advance parole do with their AP before they board the international flight. do we need to let someone know about it(airlines or immigration)

Thanks

Bring Ap and copy of marriage cert, this is all you need to get back in to the US of A

You will travel outside of the US with your passport - you don't need the APs until you return. The airlines should remove the I-94 that is in your passport that you got when you arrived as a K-1. They will turn this over to US immigration and this will tell the US authorities that you have left the US. That is how they know.

When you return to the US, you will present your passport and show the AP to the airlines who will then allow you to board the plane. At immigration, you will present both copies of the APs and they will stamp both copies of the APs, then keep one and return the other one to you. (You will be able to re-use it - they will just stamp your copy again each time you use it). They will then put a new I-94 into your passport. The date on the I-94 should be the same date as is on the AP (it is valid for one year). Make a photocopy of the first I-94 before you leave so that you have a copy of it.

Yes, don't leave the US without either the approved green card or the AP documents in hand. If you do, you will not be allowed to re-enter the US and your husband would have to start the whole immigration process all over again from the beginning, but this time applying for a CR-1 spousal visa.

Good luck and safe travels.
