Advance Parole while waiting for Adjustment of Status

[melon grapefruit 1]

Hello, I am Canadian and entered the US on a B-2, met my husband and got married before it expired. This was a year ago and we are in the process of waiting for my adjustment of status to become a permanent resident. I have received my work authorization and my Advance Parole travel document has been approved. I want to visit Canada but would like to ask if anyone has been in a similar situation. Were you allowed to re-enter the US. The document states that I am able to re-enter multiple times until 2018 but it also says that if there is an unlawful presence (overstayed visa), one may be inadmissible for 10 years.

 

Please let me know your experiences. It is very much appreciated. Thank you

Matter of battista is on your side.  You may be sent to secondary but you're good to go

You're probably okay, of course you can always wait until you have your green card if you're too paranoid about it.

Per Matter of Arrabally, the INA 212 overstay bars do not apply to someone with a pending AoS application and who has also been granted Advance Parole.

Thank you for your reply. 

 

To clarify, I am awaiting my green card as I am a Canadian, married to an American. 

 

My b-2 visa expired in April 2016 and am waiting for my adjustment of status. 

 

Im pleased to here that I may not be banned due however it's important that I be allowed re entry with my advance parole as my husband is here. Im only going to Canada as my father is very sick. 

 

Thank you you for your help.

The expiration date of your visa is not relevant.  Any overstay would have begun the day after your allowed stay of six months ended.  Regardless, you are most likely good to return.  I always advise people to avoid actually using the Advance Parole unless the trip is really necessary.
