My fiancee's K-1 was approved and we will move to the US early next year and marry in March. When we apply for AOS we would also like to submit her Advanced Parole application (i-131). My questions is, once she has received advanced parole, is there any risk for her to actually use it and visit her family in Europe? I noticed on some legal advice sites they said a person can be refused re-entry to U.S. even with advanced parole. I am guessing this is rare? Assuming nothing has changed in our status, she has never overstayed in US, committed any crimes, etc, is it reasonable to assume she would be granted re-entry? 

 

Any experiences using Advanced Parole while waiting for AOS would be appreciated.

Any risk? Yes. Only USCs are guaranteed entry. AOS could be denied while abroad, in which case AP is revoked.

It's incredibly rare to be denied entry on AP...so much so that I am unaware of it actually happening except possibly in cases of an inadmissibility (i.e. criminal activities abroad, trying to smuggle something/someone into the US, etc.).
