Hi,

I and My wife will be travelling to India next week. I have my green card but my wife is still waiting for approval. She has valid advance parole so I don't think travelling should be an issue.

I would like to know has anyone travelled recently to india using parole. if they can share their experience and what documents they carried, I will appreciate it.

Thanks much
Jaykay
 
My AOS has been pending since May 2002. Recently we had to travel to India and we entered U.S. on A.P. We had carried all the possible papers we could think of pay stubs, bank statements etc. My son who is 3 years old is a U.S Citizen.
We landed at IAD(DULLES Airport) and we entered the U.S Citizens/Permanent Residents line. The immigration officer was a lady. She stamped my son's passport and asked us how we were entering the country on expired visas(our h1-b visas had expired last year). Then we presented the AP documents. She understood the whole situation. She told us that we had to go for secondary inspection because of the AP. She also said that personally she did not quite agree with the secondary inspection procedures. We were really impressed with her courteousnes. She really made us feel at home.

She put our passports and AP documents in a 'Blue Folder' and asked us to accompany her to secondary inspection. The inspection itself was a mere formality. The only thing the officer asked us was under what category I had filed my AOS and I replied that it was 'Employment Based -2' category. They stamped our passports and our AP documents and we were out of that place in no time. The whole process took us less than 30 mins. But a chunk of it was waiting in the line. We did not have to show any other document except our Passports and AP documents.
 
I was wondering, if I would travel on AP alone, I don't have 140 approved yet? Is it possible? What if while I am traveling, they disapprove 140, what the whole point of interim then?
