How do I use the I-131

[mdc 0]

Hi you all

I need some help here. I am gonna have to travel to my country and I am worry about using the I-131. Do you guys think that it is safe to use it? I am afraid to be denied entry or something. Another question that I have is, how do I use it? do you have to fill the white form when you arrive or you just go to the officer with your passport and the I-131??

Thank you!

Just to clarify - by 'use the I-131' you mean use the AP documents you'll get as a result of an approved I-131 filing?

(When you file an I-131, and it is approved, you will receive 2 documents - these are your AP/Advance Parole documents - when you re-enter the use, you will hand both documents to the CBP officer - he/she will stamp them, keep one and give you the other.)

If you update your timeline to include your AOS timeline you'll get better answers

But as long as you haven't accrued too much overstay time since arriving in the us, you should be fine to use your AP documents. If you waited over 180 days between the expiry of your I94 and the submission of your AOS, you may not want to use them. While you haven't filled in your AOS details, if you got married in September 09 as your timeline shows, I'm sure you are ok.

When you leave the US they will usually take your original I94. When you're entering the US you fill in another I94. You hand them both copies of your AP, they will process them, stamp them and return at least one to you. You use the one they returned to you the next time you travel out of the country before GC
