HOW OFTEN CAN YOU LEAVE AND RETURN TO THE US WITH A AP

[suzique3 0]

Just a quick questions with regards the AP. I live in a border town and I am marrying a us citizen who lives within 30 miles of the border. I cross every weekend to see him and when I move over and get married I was just wondering how often after applying and receiving the AP can I cross back over to see my family?

As often as you want.

If you selected 'Multiple Entries' on the I-131 (and it was issued that way), then you could use it multiple times (not aware of any limits).

An AP document is good for any number of entires for as long as it is valid (which is usually 1 year). The first time you use it, you'll give both papers to the border officer. They will stamp both and give one back to you. On any subsequent entry, you just show them your stamped copy. Particularly since you live near the Canadian border, I wouldn't expect there to be any problems with any reasonable number of day and weekend trips.

As Otto und Karin said above, as long as you checked "More than one trip" on Part 7, Question 1 of the I-131, and the actual document, when it arrives, reflects that (it'll say multiple entries somewhere, I don't have mine handy right now to check) you'll be fine.

Moving to Working & Traveling prior to getting a Green Card forum from K1 Process & Procedures as the question is about using AP.
