traveling with advance parole

[HEMLATA]

Hi all,

I have EAD(valid till April, 2005) and Advance parole documents with me, my H1 will expire in the month of september. I'm planning to goto India in November. My question is will there be any problems in re-entering USA, with valid Advance parole and EAD documents.

Please let me know at your earliest!

Thanks in advance!
Hema

No, you will have no problems. AP is a valid travel document which will allow you to re-enter the US.

Enjoy your trip

How many travel agents know about the Advance Parole document?

Reply From German Consulate

Dear Mr. Tilwani,

please be advised that you need an airport transit visa. Advance parole is not considered to be a valid visa.Please apply for an airort transit visa at the German Consulate General.


Best regards
Visa department

FYI, you do need a transit visa for countries that require it. The AP doesn't give you GC benefits.

You have to take the Transit visa , other wise they wont allow you . I visited India few days back . Since November 12 it is must for every one if you are traveling via Europe.

doupaty , please do not confuse/misguide people. Some countries while transiting need transit visa , some dont. I did not need one to travel through Milan. Iam from India in case someone needs to know. The safest solution is to visit the embassy site and see the rules and regulations regarding the transit visa. I dont mean disrespect but if you dont provide correct info, please refrain from doing so.

If you travel thru Amsterdam then you dont need transit visa. They dont need a US visa but they need a valid passport. Thats it.

Airlines-------------Hub-----------Transit Visa
Delta/Air France-----Paris---------Yes
Northwest/KLM--------Amsterdam-----No
Delta/Alitalia-------Milan---------No
United/Lufthansa-----Frankfurt-----Yes
American/Swiss-------Zurich--------No
American/British A---London--------Yes
Air India------------London/Paris--No

This is basically if you do not have a valid US visa in the PP. Again this is from my memory. If something is not correct let me know. Check with the airline/consulate also.
