Travel on Advanced Parole and pending I-539

[Anna Kazarian]

Hi!

Here is my situation:
        
I entered the U.S. on an H1-B visa. After my H1-B status had expired on July 15, 2000, I applied for a change of status to F1 (I-539 received by INS on August 28, 2000). On July 24, 2001, I applied for adjustment of status as a spouse of a U.S. citizen. My I-539 is still pending.

If I travel on Advanced Parole before the decision on my I-539 application is made, will I be admitted back to the U.S. without any problems, or will the time between July 15, 2000, and July 24, 2001, be counted as “unlawful presence”?

Troubled Father

Anyone that can help me. About 3 years ago my son committed a crime and after doing his time INS whats to deport him back to a communist ruled country (Laos). I am a us citizen, but he is not because he was 18 years old before i became a citizen. The us supreme court ruling No. 3399 states that any person who committed a crime and is deemed deportable, but whose home country would not accept them back must be set free. My question is will this new ruling help my son?
