Apply ASAP for summertime travel

11. June 2009 by admin.

Summer is here, and the USCIS issued a reminder that certain applicants needing to travel outside the U.S. must apply for permission to reenter the U.S.

Advance Parole is permission to reenter the United States after traveling abroad.  It allows an otherwise inadmissible individual to enter the United States due to compelling circumstances.  By law, certain individuals must apply for a travel document and have Advance Parole approved before leaving the United States.  Attempts to reenter the United States without prior authorization may have severe consequences since individuals requiring advance parole may be unable to return to the United States and their pending applications may be denied. 

Applicants planning travel abroad should plan ahead since applicants can anticipate processing times of about 90 days, depending on the USCIS office location. 

If your beloved is here in the U.S. contact us to see if s/he needs to apply for advance parole before leaving the U.S. Failure to do so could result in the applicant being forced to complete immigration processing outside the U.S.
