I-131

[Ben & Heidy 1]

Hello ladies and gent's,

I am filing for an I-131 along with the I-485. to justify the advance parole, you need to provide explanation concerning your trip. VJ provided with a guideline as a word document.

Last section is:

[Describe in sufficient detail the trips you plan to take. If you plan to travel more than once list each trip. Listing more than one trip will indicate to the USCIS that you need a multi-entry AP]

what do I really need to write ?

If I write something like:

I plan to return to Toulouse (in France), where my family lives, to spend Christmas with them. This trip should last 3 weeks, departing 15 December 2011. I would depart from Washington D.C. (as well as for the return).

1/ Is this sufficient ? do they provide you an AP with any kind of reason ?

2/ once the green card is granted, you dont need anymore an AP unless you dont go more than one year, right ?

3/ so I dont need to plan a lot of trip for the next years (unless I am not lucky and I dont have my green card in the year) ?

4/ with the provided dates, will I only be able to travel at this time ?

Thanks alot again, I really appriciate your help

Ben

1. Yes - since you came here on a K-1 - it is understood you may need to travel prior to the GC.

2. Correct - once you have the GC - you no longer need the AP - however, if you leave more than 1 year on the GC, you will need a re-entry permit - prior to leaving the US.

3. Not sure what you mean - the AP is good for one year, multiple entries. If you need to extend that - you can.

4. I would not put dates - I would put "TBD" - but no matter - once you have the AP, you can come and go as you see fit - it doesn't have to be in those dates. (as long as you meet the criteria to use the AP).

Exact dates are not necessary for AP. I just put that I was planning some visits back to Canada to see my children and that the dates were unknown.
