Hey VJ

I am travelling with my husband back to Canada next month and I have my EAD/AP Combo card so that is not a problem

My question is I will be flying from Canada to the Dominican Republic for a vacation and will be using my passport which still has my maiden name in it. Since we will be flying from Canada and back to Canada can I use my maiden name in my passport to book the flight? Also will I have to show my AP when leaving Canada at the airport or is that strictly for leaving the US.

Please Advise Thank you !

Hold onto your hat its going to be a bumpy ride!!

but don't worry you'll get through it :luv:

Also will I have to show my AP when leaving Canada at the airport or is that strictly for leaving the US. AP is USCIS document. You will need the AP to get into the US, or if pre-screening US CBP (in Canada airport) may want to see it .

Please Advise Thank you !

Suggest that you also bring a copy of your marriage license.

Good luck on your travels.

I think advance parole was made for emergency travel. I wouldnt risk travelling for pleasure because there is no guarantee that you will be allowed back into the country read the back of the AP card

I put right on my AP application what I was using it for and they approved it so that's not the case. Plus many VJers have use it for pleasure and haven't had a problem.

Wrong and wrong. AP is for any travel. Also refer to matter of Arabally. There's no guarantee for greencard holders either, only citizens. Using ap is generally safe Edited by Transborderwife

Don't be. That would be something extremely rare. You can travel and re-enter just fine as a lawful permanent resident.

Yes technically. The only people who have the right to enter are citizens. But it's very irregular

Advance parole is for any type of travel you want. Emergency Advance Parole is for emergencies.
