Back in US after travelling with Advance Parole with deferred action - Page 31

I needed to know if leaving the country with AP was safe and what the risks would be if I did. She told me that a couple of her clients have gone to their countries and came back with no issues at all (what a relieve!), she also told me that as long as I don't commit any crimes that there should be no problem in getting back into the country. Lastly, she also told me that by entering the US with AP it would clear my EWI (entry without inspection) which in a future if I get married to a US citizen then it would be easier to become a legal resident and hopefully one day a US citizen.

The documents I sent in the packet were:
- Form i-131
- Doctor’s letter and the translation
- My birth certificate and the translation
- Copies of my DACA approval letter
- Copy of my EAD, driver’s license and passport
- Two passport pictures
- Letter I wrote stating why I needed to go
- $360 money order
- Form G-1145 (not necessary but it helps to get updates on email/text)

I’m praying everything turns out okay and that all the information I sent is enough.
Hopefully I'll be able to go in November.

I want to tell everybody how my case ended up. As i said before in my first post i was going back to Peru to visit my grandmother who was sick by the time i started my case (AP) but she passed away during the process of case.

Based on my advanced parole letter i should be back before july 29th.

Well i travel to Peru on june 25th with no problems at all.
I got back on july 27th. I wil try to explain all the steps i did on my way back to USA ONLY.
Once i arrived to the airport at Lima - Peru and spoke the airline clrek they asked me for my passport and as they couldnt see my visa in my passport he asked me for my green card and i told him. I dont have a green card but i have a letter (advance parole) they did not know what that was, so he called a supervisor and he started reading the letter i showed him my driver license. He told the clerk it was good. They made a copy of the letter. Afrer that, all i have to do was get on the plane !
Once i got to Miami i went to passport control. And showed them my passport my us custom form and my 2 letter of (ap) the officer did not say a word. He called another officer, gave him all my documents and asked me to follow him. I was taking to US CUSTOM AND BORDER CONTROL OFFICE it was a private area. I was not the only in that room there couple of people waiting.
Some people were called out and they were interviewed at the windows. I was sitting close the windows so it wasnt hard for me to listen to them. They asked them many questions, but they sound like they just wanted to know why they wanted to be in the country and if they were telling the truth.
I waited about 30 minutes before my name was called out. I approched to the window and the officer asked. Where i was going to, i told him i was going back to North Carolina. At this point i was ready to show all my documents and the documents from my grandmothers death. The officer handed me back my passport my US custom form and one AP Letter which was sealed then he said thank you. You can go to claim your bag and have a nice trip to north carolina. I was not asked any other question other than where i was going to.
I do not know if this is normal but this is what i went tru. I left the office i had a question on my mind. Since i'm waiting for my green card because my mother is citizen i know it might take sometime. If i need to travel again do i have to wait some time i order to re aplly for another AP? I asked that question to another officer and he said i was paroled for a year but if i need to travel outwide the US i need to re apply for AP. Can somebody explain me what being paroled for a year means? I still dont understand. Thank you!
