Advance Parole

I have a pending I-485 (employment based) and planning a trip to Iran on Advance Parole. Some people tell me this is risky as the officer at the border may reject a person from re-entering the US. I have never been out of status, but these comments have concerned me.

For those people who have travelled with AP and have pending I-485, can you please tell me if this is risky and they faced hard-time at the border for re-entering the US?
 
Last week my wife entered on AP with pending I485 and everything was ok. It took a little longer as we were sent to secondary inspectioin with green folder.

But i am not sure whether if you come from Iran, there would be issues.
 
Can you please tell if people travelling on AP should see immigration at the airport when departing the US?

There should not be any problems for entering on AP if there are no status or other immigration related issues.

is ur question specific to Iran?
If question is about entering US on AP after visting Iran then its a different situation for which I've no comments

If you were subject to Special Registration on the way in, then you need to follow the exit procedures. The means of your next entry to the US are irrelevant.
 
Thanks for all your responses. I asked an immigration attorney and he said there is no discrimination against nationalities on entry with AP. Maybe I am just being paranoid. I was hoping that someone from Iran had this experience to share on this website and relieve me.
 
Hi Persian

I too have same question ( not about country of origin ).

Question is - Do we need to see immigration office while leaving US ( based on current valid visa & I94) , to re-enter using AP.

Thanks

Of course - special registration depends on how you last entered the country, not on how you plan on entering the next time.
 
Hi RealCanadian

I entered with L1 A visa with I94 stamping, used to submit I94 every time we leave the country, and get new one while entering back to US.

Now my question is I will be submitting current I94, apart from this do I need to do any further to ensure I can enter back with Advanced Parole. So that I can start working on EAD ......


thanks
