Anyone travelled internationally and returned in Advance Parole recently? I need my h1b visa stamped but due to delays in india I am not getting an earlier date for Dropbox. Due to family reasons, I need to travel now and traveling on AP is the only option. Wanted to check if anyone here any advice on my situation?

I did in August. All good except that they need additional check where you’ll be led to the waiting room.

Thanks!

Yes, we went last year. No issues but while reentry, an extra hour or so went in additional check

Thank you! What additional documentation did you carry or asked for in the waiting room (eg employment letter?)
