AP Question
 

Anyone done AP that's not their home country? Do you go to your countries embassy and apply?

Re: AP Question
 

You apply from within. there have been a few dreamers who have done it lately.
I recommend you join FB group advance parole

Re: AP Question
 

Yes. Why not? My sister went to Spain and I've been to India twice (Our home country is Kenya). You just have to prove the humanitarian/medical/work reason. What you have to do is, get AP FIRST. And then you go get the visa at that particular country's consulate and when you go for the visa make sure you take your AP document with you that USCIS will send you as well as the DACA 821-D document (I found out the harsh way). You should be all set at that stage.

Re: AP Question
 

Can you guys share what were some of your reasons you used to get those APs approved? Both of my grandparents passed away during the Trump era. Assuming that DACA is reinstated back to the pre-2017 state, could I apply for it using "tomb sweeping" as the reason?

Once in China, could I fly to other countries for leisure or would those visa stamps on my passport cause an issue when I try to re-enter the US?

Re: AP Question
 

First time I used humanitarian, basically got a Doctor to write a letter saying that my grandfather is aged and ailing so i should get permission to go meet him. During that trip I had an eye procedure done. So for my second trip, I got a letter from that doctor saying that I need to "go back for a follow-up" lol....I think you may be able to get approved based on your situation but you just have to prove that they were indeed your grandparents and the fact that they died, perhaps some pictures of the tomb...

And NO, you CANNOT visit another country without AP. That just doesn't sound right. You request AP to go to one particular country for a particular reason. When you come back here the officers check your info and passport and see the stamps.

Gotcha. Thanks!

What if it's a country that has some sort of visa waiver agreement with China? Would that still show up on my passport?

Re: AP Question
 

I don't know all that. I would not risk it. If you get AP to visit China, you just want to go to China and nowhere else or else you risk never being allowed reentry or potentially deported from here if they find out you went elsewhere.

Re: AP Question
 

thanks, you got a link for the fb group?

Re: AP Question
 

cool thanks, might do a visit to china, taiwan, and canada.

Re: AP Question
 

Question for those who have done AP before, did y'all file the AP with attorney? Attorney is asking $750 for AP, but just want to see if anyone filed it by themselves...

Re: AP Question
 

i think 2face and few other filed themselves. I looked at the form and I don't see anything too difficult about it. Honestly, I personally feel safer filling it out myself.

Re: AP Question
 

Filed twice for myself and once for my sister. Its extremely straight forward. Its advisable to file yourself instead of getting an attorney, they are extremely expensive and many may mess it up. Its a very simple thing, just follow all instructions and provide adequate proof.

However, on a separate note, I would really think twice about leaving on AP any time soon. You never know when the country you go to goes on lockdown limiting availability of flights back. If you're not able to make it back by the date, it can become catastrophic. Not trying to scare you, just cautioning you. Wait a little bit as we get deep into Biden presidency as things change and hopefully AP becomes like how it used to before or even better.

Re: AP Question
 

Thank you so much for the info! As Biden will take over the reign next year, I'm just trying to plan ahead.

Re: AP Question
 

My sister is an attorney in New York specializing in immigration law. She likes to help out DACA folks(I'm one of them and her brother) and doesn't charge a lot. She said she can fill out AP for you for 350$. If you or anyone else need help with AP or DACA renewal you can send me private message. As I said she wont try to rape you like other lawyers.

Re: AP Question
 

Question for those guys who have used AP at least twice. I used AP back in 2015 to visit my grandfather who passed away; unfortunately, my dad is now having some serious health issues and I may need to go in a moments notice, so I want to apply for AP again.

For question 4a, in Part 3, Have you ever been issued a reentry permit or refuge travel document?
Is that a NO for us since reentry permits are for LPRs, right? or what did you put?

Re: AP Question
 

That's a no. You are correct.

Re: AP Question
 

Sorry to hear that, hope everything gets better.

I have been out on AP twice, in 2015 and 2016. The answer to that question would be NO.

Re: AP Question
 

Thank you Demise and 2Face.
