AP and EAD Combo Card- How safe is it to travel outside the US for re-entry ?

[cjmc 10]

My wife just received her Advance Parole and Employment Combo Card in the mail. How safe is it to travel outside the US using this card for re-entry ?

The information received says it allows Parole back into the country at the discression of USCIS...how safe is this ?....need some input from people that have used this card for re-entry....was it any problem ? what other documentation should she travel with ?

Thanks for your input :-)

Cheers,

Curt

Well, if she has never been out of status, she doesn't have to worry about. There has been no one denied parole with AP in hand.

It's no longer an issue for anyone who has been out of status now either, per Matter of Arrabally and Yerrabelly.

The beneficiary might be sent to secondary inspection upon re-entry on the first use.

Mrs. T-B. had no problems.

So my wifes Parole and work permit card has her married name on it, but her drivers license and passport still have her maiden name on them....does she just need to bring a certified copy of our marriage certificate to validate the name change ?

Travel with the confidence of no problems are going to occur.

I came back with my AP and no problems at all even though I overstayed a tourist visa for 2 weeks.

There were number of folks on VJ site that have reported to

travel overseas and return back to US without any problems.

She should carry a copy of your marriage certificate with her until her green card is in hand. I insisted that Mrs. T-B. do this, and in fact it was crucial upon her re-entry with use of the AP. In addition, one never knows where CBP agents will lurk, and having all papers in hand can shut them down before they cause trouble.
