Experience with Advanced Parole?

[aquatic_brewer 39]

I’ve never had a problem getting back in to the country but be plan for a long wait, especially the first time you use it. 
 

Im sure it’s location dependant but at Seattle (SEATAC) you get put in a special line. That line moves so slowly it’s painful. Expect 20 people to take about 2hrs. It’s longer if lots of flights are landing because it’s the same line cabin crew and pilots use and they cut to the front all the time. Once you clear that line and answer basic questions, you’ll be taken in the back where another person has to do something (not sure what) before you eventually get a stamp, that second part is usually much quicker. They parole you for 1 year so in theory the next time you come through using the same AP card you don’t go through the second part of the process, if you renew your AP card you’re back to square 1.  It’s taken me between 2 and 3 hours each time I’ve flown internationally and that was during COVID (so not that busy). You’re standing the whole time, there are no bathrooms.

To the assertion that LPRs are not guaranteed entry.  This is false. See

Note that being charged as removable is vastly different than simply being admitted. For example, if a LPR dimwittedly admits to marijuana or other illegal drug use at entry they are in a very precarious immigration situation whereas a US national or an American Indian born in Canada with at least 50% American Indian blood (see Matter of Yellowquill) are guaranteed entry (i.e. won't be referred to an IJ).
