I am a U.S. citizen and I had applied for a green card for my parents and they were in the USA and now they have received their Advance Parole.
1. When our parents have Advance Parole, is there any special process to leave the U.S.?
2. Do we need to inform the airline staff during their check in process?
3. Even though Advance Parole documents specify that parole is valid for one year, is there any advisable timeline they could stay in India on Advance Parole?
4. What is the process for entering the USA on Advance Parole besides showing their parole documents to the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) officer at the airport?
5. Any instructions or guidelines for using Advance Parole?
6. What if their Green card gets approved while they are in India?
1. The answer is No.
2. No. There is no special procedure for leaving the United States.
3. There is no limit to their time. The only limitation is if they are scheduled for an interview they should plan on returning on a short notice.
4. You just need to show your Advance Parole and passport.
5. There are no instructions, other than the fact they should be ready to come back when needed. If they schedule an interview we try to get the interview waived. If they do not waive the interview, the interview can be rescheduled and it is a valid ground for rescheduling if they are outside the United States.
6. If somebody is on Advance Parole and their Green card gets approved, they should board the flight using the Advance Parole. When they arrive at the airport in the United States the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) officer should admit them as Green card holders. If that does not happen then they usually let them in on Advance Parole.
