Using AP at Ciudad Juarez MX Port of Entry

[sarap 0]

My husband is waiting for his greencard after coming here on a K-1 visa. We have his two AP papers and we're in Mexico preparing to return to the US. We're going through the Ciudad Juarez Port of Entry by bus and we're wondering if anyone has gone through there on AP. Will he be able to just stand in the passport line or does he have to go off to the side and wait in line (like he did coming in with his K-1 visa) for them to process his paperwork? I'm pretty sure he'll have to go off to the side but he's insisting that I ask. Also do they keep one of the AP papers? How many times can you travel with the AP papers? Any other helpful AP info? Thanks for any response!

Upon the first-time use of an AP form, CBP will have to do some computer research & data entry. Ours took around 40 minutes at an otherwise-empty land POE elsewhere in Texas. You should wait with him. Have your marriage certificate with you. When AP is used for the first time, CBP will process both copies of the AP form, keep one, and give you the other for as many future uses as you want, assuming that the form is preapproved for "multiple" entries, as most of them are.

Other: When CBP is presented with an AP form, the agents can ask you just about anything that the consulate asked you. If your husband was guilty of an overstay or entry without inspection in the past, and this becomes known or is evident to CBP, entry even with the AP form can be denied. Things are much easier when one has a green card, si man.
