AP for employment reasons

I consider myself very lucky (for the most part)!

After years (pretty much since being approved for DACA), I've been wanting to get AP so I can fix my EWI, and hopefully adjust my status. All my family lives in MX, I am the only one who lives here. My grandmother has dementia and I have a niece with epilepsy. Still, everyone refused to send me any medical records, yay for crappy families!

Anyway, I consider myself lucky because I work with an immigration attorney. I have pretty much worked with her since having been approved for DACA , and she was hesitant to apply for AP for me to see clients in Mexico because she didn't want to put me at risk of not coming back. But I was finally able to convince her! So we applied on 9-4-15 and the reasons were meeting with a client at the U.S. Embassy for their visa appointment in Juarez. I applied for multiple entries, since we have multiple clients, so I will going to Juarez several times during the next year if AP is approved. All my family lives in Juarez anyway, so I will be visiting them and working at the same time, to kill two birds with one stone (I haven't seen them since they left in 2011) I will be traveling by car, going through CBP at the international bridge, and my boss will be going with me. I am nervous and excited. And hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of my undocumented status!

Best of luck and god speed to the end of undocumented status

Hello everyone,

I am going to apply for AP in the next few weeks and wanted to see if someone can guide me through all the steps you have taken. I have read the application over and over and I am thinking about doing it on my own without a lawyer. Any information you can give me is highly appreciated.

I applied for DACA in 2012. I also think I have been very lucky. I always worked here and payed taxes with my tax id so I think that helped me. I applied in August and my approval came really quick.

Last year I renewed my card and it also came very quick. After I got my work permit my life really changed. I now drive, bought my own car, have a good job, have been promoted. I am really happy.

The company I work for has a training every year in Amsterdam and last year I didn't go because I was in the middle of renewing my papers so I was scared to apply for AP and not get it. This year I really don't want to miss the opportunity again. I feel like it is the perfect opportunity. They pay for every thing and it is training for work. The trip is in January so I will apply withing the next week.

A little more info about me, I have been in the US for 16 years, I came when I was 14 from Brazil and have never been back. Please let me know what you guys think and the steps you have taken.

Thank you!

For my particular case, I filled out the form, then I used a letter from my employer explaining why I needed to travel, a paystub to prove I am employed by her, a G-28 for her client, my passport, copy of my EAD, copy of my approval notices, and that's it! I hope it gets approved. Good luck!

Arriba juarez. I have 12 years since I last went to juarez. Good luck . Hopefully you can get some barbacoa.

Thank you! that helps

I am applying soon as well just waiting for a few documents. I want to do it myself without a lawyer but I am so scared to mess it up. I did my DACA on my own and it worked out fine but this seems much scarier.

I apologize if these questions sound stupid but I just want to be sure.

For question 6, Class of admission what should I answer? Is it the type of passport/visa I have?

I am from Brazil and I only have my passport no visa anymore. I plan to travel to Europe and Brazilians don't need a Visa to travel through Europe.

Also for part 2: Application Type

I believe the correct answer should be 1d. "I am applying for AP to allow me to return to the US after temporary foreign travel.

For part 3: Date of intended departure.
My trip will be between 3-5 days. I don't have the exact answer because it will depend on my job. Also the travel date might differ a few days. Does that have to be 100% accurate?

I will be leaving most likely on 1/18/2016, 1/19/2016 or 1/20/2016 but I don't have the exact one.

And then for question part 5: Since you became a permanent resident of the US, have you filed a federal income tax return as a non resident or failed to file federal income ta return because you considered yourself to be a nonresident.

I'm not sure what to answer here. I've been here for 16 years, got my DACA in 2012 but ever since I started working I always paid my taxes. Now with my social and before with a tax id. What do I answer for this question?

I really appreciate the help.

Thank you!
