I had my Green card interview in July 2006. Unfortunately there is no news of Green card. My name is for FBI name check. Now i am planning to go back to my parent country. I am based in naperville Il. Can i apply for online advance parole? Which one is better online or paper ? I would like to travel in march , when should i apply for that?

Happy new year.

I applied online for my last AP. The advantage is that they receive the application right away and you are able to get a receipt number as well, saving you the time it would take for the post office to deliver the application and for it to be acknowledged. If you wish to travel in March you should get your application in as soon as possible - it can take 90 days to receive an AP. The application does have a box where it asks you your intended travel date - make sure you fill that in. If, when you get closer to your travel date and you are still waiting for the AP or your green card, you can make an infopass appointment and see if they can ensure that the AP arrives in time for your travel. If you haven't booked your travel tickets yet, you would be wise to wait and get them as late as possible to make sure you do get the AP in time - you won't be able to leave and return without the AP (or the green card) and you won't want to waste the money spent on a ticket you can't use. Good luck.
