Has anyone traveled abroad for educational purposes?
 
Hello everyone,

I am curious about anyone's experience traveling abroad for school through the AP program. Currently I am finishing up my BA and my sister, who is a college professor, has organized a trip to the British Isles that I am dying to go on. She has organized many study abroad tours, but this is the first one that I may be able to join thanks to my DACA status, but I am concerned about not being allowed back in.

So has anyone done study abroad since receiving their DACA, and did you find any difficulties returning to the US?

I've read a few threads about people traveling due to sick family members, but I haven't run into any student experiences and I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance!

I check in here often for educational AP stories but they're scarce. Luckily, member Winterfresh went to study in Germany with educational AP. His initial thread after approval is here http://dreamact.info/forum/showthread.php?t=50180 and he posted again after returning http://dreamact.info/forum/showthread.php?t=69039

Good luck! If you do apply and return please update.

Thank you so much! I recently found out that the Advanced Parole application isn't available because they're updating it, so it looks like my trip won't work out, but I appreciate the help! =)

who said Advance Parole isn't available? It's available, did I miss anything?

No I'm sorry, I was misinformed. Your application should be fine.

They were updating the form recently, but since it's up on the page it must be fine. Sorry again and I hope you're approved! :)

Not at all, they recently re-vamped the form and it was temporarily unavailable but it's fine now. My source was a little misinformed, didn't mean to cause trouble or confusion, sorry! =)
