Hi, My wife and I are planning on travelling to New Delhi. Our H-1 multiple entry visa has expired and we intend on using AP to reenter US. Do indian authorities at New Delhi airport recognize AP ? We are just a little worried whether the local indian authorities are aware of the AP when we depart India for US. Pls share experiences. Thanks.
Anyone recently travelled to India on AP ??

Travelled to India on AP
Yes, I have used AP for travelling from India on 7/4/02. In fact I had a valid H1B visa stamped on my passport, Hence Delta people didn't asked me any question. But Immigration officer in Mumbai did asked that my visa is valid upto 8/14/02, so how am i going to maintain the status. I replied that am waiting for my GC and do have EAD card to work. He was just curious to see the EAD card. After a glance he returned back.
After arriving at Atlanta Airport, My passport, AP form was put into a Green folder and was requested for seconday inspection. Officer requested me to sit in front of camera. After few minutes. The only question he asked me was SSN number. After which he duly stamped all my papers and I was all set.

Please Please Please Advice....Very Very Very Urgent
What if my wife and kids are in India and I havent taken advance parole for them. Can I take Advance parole for them, send to India before they arrive in US.
Second Question:
If we are leaving for India and no body has Advance parole and Visa is expired, do US authorities can bother us.

always post a new thread. Dont tag onto an expired thread...
Answer to your questions:
1. yes you may get AP for your dependents when they are outside US, as long as you have all the documentation, photo and check to cover the fees.
2.I presume you (and your dependents ) are 485 adjustees. Then you dont need any valid visa stamp in the passport. Some airlines might insist that you get a transit visa from their country consulate (france and Germany are known to do this).
It will be better if they have copies of their 485 receipts...
