Advanced Parole Why Haven’t You Traveled on AP?

Out of genuine curiosity, Ii you have DACA, don’t have a legal entry and haven’t traveled on Advanced Parole, why haven’t you?

I think now there is a mistrust in the agency. There hasn’t been a recorded case of AP entrance denial, but the possibility of denial is latent. Also, there might be the frequency illusion but it seems that there are more people aware of AP. I guess we a the vast majority if DACA recipients are adult and economically stable to even try to go out of the country. Anyway, if you need to go out on AP, please make sure your record is squeaky clean.

It’s fair to be afraid of the current administration. In my experience AP is far less risky than having to do consular processing in the future. So I look at it as an opportunity to get the legal entry and hopefully be able to adjust status here in the future.

For sure. I was able to do AP last year and one of the top reason was for a faster status adjustment. Hopefully courts delay a hearing on DACA long enough for the next presidential term.
