I am currently going to attempt fixing my status in this manner.

I currently have advance parole approved as long as i use it between may 14- october 24. I got an approval because my employer is sending me to 2 it conferences in canada. I currently have a pending visa application with canada, so i might not be able to go in may. Might have to go in october.
Little background on myself been here 27 years, clean sheet, except i am ewi. Have been finger printed 2x since daca, both for employer requirements. Both background checks have cleared.i have been married for nearly 9 years to a usc, i have a usc daughter.

Anyhow i am extremely nervous about leaving for the purpose of clearing ewi because of the 3/10 year ban. I know about the arabelly decision, but i can't help but feel uneasy. I have a pretty good job, and my wife is unemployed, if i am not allowed back in my family would lose its financial support.
I an 90% sure if the canadians approve my visa by may 15, i am going to risk it.
Has anyone heard of anyone not being allowed back in with advanced parole?
Do they flat out just deny you entry? Or can you enter and be release and then go to an immigration judge?
I have not used a lawyer for any papers. My wife was in law school when daca was announced and did all my paper work for me.(600 page application ..)

if anyone has any feedback i appreciate it.
If anyone needs to know what i sent for ap let me know, i am glad to share.

Thank you

Hello i am going to submit my request for ap to attend a convention in canada, i was approved for daca and was wondering what information specifically you submitted when you sent your application for ap. Also how long did it take once you sent the application for them to get back to you. I too have to apply for a canadian visa and if you have any tips on how to go about that i would really appreciate it.

Thank you very much!!

When my wife applied for AP, she got a response within 2 months. As for the info, you can send a letter of info about the convention and how it's relevant to you.

Did your superior or employer have to submit any info stating why they were sending you? Did you get your Canadian Visa approved?

You can email me personally if you'd like as well ebeny24@gmail.com.

Like many of you guys she went through the DACA process a year ago and just last week she received her green card. Her case was rare because she was a DACA student who married a U.S. Citizen. The lawyers at our attorney's office even called her the guinea pig because she was the first such case in their buffet. Here's a timeline of her past year:

February 2013: Approved for DACA
April 2013: Got married (after 7 years together)
July 2013: Submitted request for Advanced Parole
September 2013: Approved for Advanced Parole
September 2013: Left to Mexico for 4 days to see sick mother. Legally re-entered the U.S. with Advanced Parole
December 2013: Submitted paperwork to become U.S. Resident through marriage
February 2014: Interviewed at local immigration office
March 2014: Received green card

If any of you have questions about anything and I might be able to help, feel free to ask. But my one advice for everyone will be that before you make any decision consult a trustworthy lawyer. Sure they can be expensive, but going into this whole process both my wife and I were clueless about immigration laws, so we have them to thank for my wife's achievements.
I've bumped with your post and was thinking too with my mother who just got a green card from New York. My concerned is how long it would take an immigrant to get a permanent Visa?

Thank you. The interview was pretty easy. I think it varies depending on who interviews you. My wife's cousin actually had her interview 6 months before we did in the same office and her interview was very different from ours.

Our interview was about 15 minutes long. The only thing they asked me (the petitioner) was my name, my parents' names and my phone number (that was literally it for me). As for my wife, they asked her how long we had been together, about her entrances into the U.S. and about her entrance through AP. Then they asked her questions (more of a formality) like of she had ever sold drugs, been part of terrorist group, etc. They do ask you to prove your marriage is not a sham. Our lawyer put together a packet that had all our stuff including pictures of us together from 7 years ago and bills that we had together under both names and joint bank accounts. Even with our lawyer's packet we still took the originals to the interview just in case.

My wife's cousin's interview was different though. I'm assuming because they went a less prepared, she said their interview took about 45 minutes. They asked them which side of the bed each one sleeps on and what was the color of each other's toothbrushes. They didn't take any evidence with them (even though their lawyer did), so my wife's cousin got a huge lecture about how they need to act more like a married couple because they didn't even have pictures of each other in their cell phones. They still got approved, but their interview wasn't as easy as ours.

I guess it just depends on the interviewer and what evidence you provide. If you do submit the application through a lawyer, ask your lawyer for a copy of everything you submitted before the interview just to be safe because most of the things that they ask you will be based off your application such as dates you entered the country, places where you've lived, etc.

A list of the evidence we provided:
- marriage license
- 15 to 20 pictures of us together (with date)
- lease agreement with both of our names
- 1 joint bank account
- taxes that we filed together as married (1 year)
- 2 billing statements with both of our names
So I am in the same situation. Is that all the evidence that you submitted? Did you submit any affidavits from other people regarding your marriage?

No our lawyer told us not to because they don't really take them into consideration since they want actual proof that you're living together and are in a legit marriage as opposed to just statements from family and friends saying that you're married.

Question: how much into detail did they go about her entrance through Advance Parole? did your wife get AP for humanitarian reasons? How much did the officer ask about this?

Thanks in advance.

The immigration officer only asked if she had entered legally through AP and asked why she had to get AP. My wife told her that her mom was sick and that she had to go see her and that was it.

Did you guys include copies of the documents you used to obtain AP with your adjustment of status app?
