Quick Question Re: Advanced Parole Application

[JayMar2019 2,741]

Hi,

 

I have searched through VJ for a more "current" answer to this question because the previous answers that I found seem to be "outdated" since the 12/23/16 instructions for this form. However, I apologize for the repetitive question if I overlooked it. I am about to mail off my husband's AOS package with EAD/AP attached and for the AP, the instructions say: "

 

"Advance Parole Document for Individuals Who Are Currently in the United States - You must complete Part 4. of the form indicating how your intended travel fits within 1 of the 3 purposes below" (i.e., Educational Purposes, Employment Purposes and Humanitarian Purposes.

 

Now, I have read previous posts saying that I can leave this blank, and I don't have to add a Date of Intended Departure since I'm filing this with the I-485. However, the responses that have said this seem to be prior to 12/23/16 instruction packet. Since the instructions are now saying Part 4 must be completed...what should I put for a reason for the purpose of travel and should I pick any future date of intended departure?

 

Thanks!

If the form is from the official USCIS page, that is the most current and up-to-date edition. As for filling it out, I put "N/A" for intended dates of travel and got the combo card several months after filing.

Nope shouldn't have to put anything or any date honestly. Just because you apply for it doesn't mean you intend to use it. Most of us don't intend to but get it just in case.

The form is general as it applies to numerous circumstances for applying for AP. For AP due to a pending I-485, no reason is necessary and no date is needed.

So I can leave Part 4 blank for the "purpose of travel" just like before? Or do I put unknown?

 

Only asking because the instructions say to not leave anything blank and to put either "N/A" or "None" if the question doesn't pertain to you.

My wife put "Unknown" and it was fine. I wouldn't leave it blank personally.

Great....thank you so much. With this new policy that USCIS will be enforcing on Sept 11th, I just want to be sure I have everything correct and accurate.
