DACA to AOS - Page 63

lovemode · 04:05 PM

Hey, thank you Venus and Ianus for your replies. And yes I forgot to mention travelling with EAD through AP. I know many people here have successfully come back after having their AP, but I've also heard it is very risky and you have to be cautious about leaving.

Specifically, what are the chances they might stop you from returning to the U.S. with either AOS EAD/AP or DACA EAD/AP? I'm afraid it might happen to me due to my overstayed visa and as a non-DACA recipient (qualify for DACA+ but it was dead anw), and since many of my friends told me not to travel outside the U.S. until you become a permanent resident.

As far as I know, the AOS interview process for next year is going to take up to 1 year from the date you file the petition, so while waiting for my AOS pending, I'm not sure if it is safe to use AP to visit my home country.

Be Cautious About Leaving

The Advance Parole document is your ticket back into the U.S., but it is not a guaranteed ticket. Its function is to keep your adjustment of status application alive while you’re gone—but it won’t protect you from being found inadmissible. So if you have any doubts about your admissibility back into the U.S., don’t leave without first consulting with an immigration lawyer, particularly if you have been arrested since the last time you entered the U.S., or if you have spent any time in the U.S. in unlawful immigration status.
Even if you have Advance Parole, don’t be alarmed if, upon returning to the U.S., you are pulled into a separate line. This is called “secondary inspection,” and it is not an uncommon procedure for anyone returning with an Advance Parole document.

TIA

You have to write the city of your country.

I'm Mexican, so I put: Distrito Federal....... Mexico

Question for those that applied. For the g325a asking for your last address abroad for more than a year... Did you guys write the address you left as a kid? Or did you leave it blank?

You put the last address as a kid or your last known address before you came to the US. One thing that helped, is YouTube. If you search the specific forms, there's plenty of videos that show you how to fill it up. Hope that helps.
