Hello , 

I am new to these forums I have been lurking for a few weeks and enjoy reading of everyone’s experiences and advice.

 

I would love to hear people’s opinions on my situation. 

 

I arrived in the USA June 2015 on an ESTA visa from Ireland.  Due to unforeseen circumstances I overstayed and married my wife who is a USC in June of 2018 

 

we filed our papers and and I was granted a combo card. 

 

Me and and my wife plan on flying to my home country at the end of the month using my combo card. My question is will I have many issues for overstaying back a few years ago. I’m nervous to use it however my immigration lawyer says I should of no issues.

 

id love to hear of people’s experiences using it . 

 

Thanks in advance

If you have a pending I-485 and valid Advance Parole document, it is highly unlikely that you have have any issues......enjoy your trip.

Went on a cruise with the advance parole, no issues coming back in. Just be open to staying at the port of entry or airport until they finish processing you. Will ask a couple questions, just be polite, humble and cooperative.
