On the CBP Carrier Information Guide, it is described as "USCIS International Operations authorization for parole".  The key point is that it is listed in the CBP guide, so you can be assured that it is a valid travel document for boarding.  Check here -- https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2019-Mar/2019 Carrier Information Guide - ENGLISH.pdf

 

 

Your wife must enter the US before the expiry date listed on the parole document.  After she is paroled in, she will have 2 years of legal status in the US as a "parolee", even if she doesn't file I-485.  If she had no USC immediate relatives, she would have to claim asylum if she wants to stay legally beyond those 2 years.  But because she is married to you, a USC, she has a simpler and much faster path -- file I-485 (based on your marriage) to adjust status from parolee to LPR.  No need to file for asylum.

 

 

As usual, thank you! You have helped us immensely with all of your answers and cited sources!

We arrived safely in the USA and Olga was paroled for 2 years.

 

My question now about the adjustment of status is regarding medical. Olga's medical exam from her IR-1 process is still valid. Can we use that or does she need a new one and a new I-693?

Logical as it may sound the system is not designed to do that

Glad you all arrived safely and thank you for updating us!

 

For non-K1 cases, USCIS will only accept a medical report and I-693 from a civil surgeon in the US.  So yes, your wife will need to repeat her medical.
