Hey everyone,

I am getting married soon and I am working on the COS papers right now. I would like to visit my family and friends back in my home country this summer. I read the instructions for the I-131 very carefully and I am a little confused. Here I read that the combo card is basically just a routine and you will get it no matter what if you file I-131 and I-765 together with your I-485. But the instructions note that you can only leave for “urgent humanitarian reasons” or in furtherance of a “significant public benefit,” which may include a personal or family emergency or bona fide business reasons. Further down (#4 c) in the instructions) it says that visiting an ailing relative is a reason too, but this is only stated under the DACA paragraph, which does not apply to me.

I hope somebody can clear this up for me. Am I eligible to get the advance parole although I am "only" visiting my family back home?

Also, I do not have a set travel date yet. What would I put in the application for the intended travel date and time?

Thanks so much in advance.

This was recently examined in detail here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/533695-i-131-travel-authorization-strange-sounding-rules

In short, there is a difference between normal Advance Parole and Humanitarian Parole.
