How to use Advance Parole (I-512L)

[CharlieJK 12]

Hi,

I recently received my Advance Parole documents (I applied separately from my AOS and EAD which I'm still waiting for) and just wanted to double check how to use them.

I received two identical I-512L authorisation for Parole documents. It says they are valid for one year (with date given) and that multiple re-entries are allowed.

I have a few questions:

1.) why do I have two identical copies?

2.) Do I need to take anything with me other than my passport and AP document when I re-enter the states?

3.) there is a space on the bottom right for a Parole Stamp but this is empty, it was granted by the NVC if that makes sense.

4.) I'm planning to go back to Canada regularly for work whilst I'm waiting for my AOS (UK citizen but Canadian resident). Has anyone had experience of this or any issues with doing this at all?

Thanks!

Sounds like the same papers you get when you file for Emergency AP...

1. Do not know, CBP only cared about one. I'm guessing the other one is if you travel again?

2. No.

Expect to spend some time in Secondary Inspection when you return. It's standard when you're being paroled into the country.

I believe that, the first time you enter with the AP, they will take one of the copies, and you keep the other one. On any subsequent time you enter with the AP, you show the copy you have and they don't take anything.
