tgif168 2 Posted September 22, 2012 Are we going to be able to travel outside the USA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawf 336 Posted September 22, 2012 To travel outside the USA, you must apply for Advance Parole after you receive your work permit. The advance parole is a travel permit that lets you travel whenever you need to go for a limited time and it must be a valid reason such as the death of someone very close to you, sickness, and any other emergency cases. I wouldn't apply for Advance parole until you talk about it with your immigration attorney, Advance Parole comes with a lot of risks and your reentry to the US is up to the immigration officer in the airport. He will most likely ask you for copies of the reason as to why you had to travel and your Work Permit will show a Advance Parole text which will be shipped to you once your travel permit is accepted. The advance parole application is called I-131, the application is not free and depending on your age is the price you will pay to have it processed. Also note that your first work permit will include a message in the card saying "NOT VALID FOR REENTRY TO THE U.S.", while the second card will include "SERVES AS X-XXX ADVANCE PAROLE" 1 Rh_ny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted September 23, 2012 Like Rawf said, It still isn't very clear what would happen if a DACA approved with Advance Parole were to travel outside of the United States. It would be best to consult with an immigration attorney and have him look over your case and see if there would be any trouble upon trying to return to the U.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawf 336 Posted September 23, 2012 I forgot to include that even with travel permit, the person at the airport can deny the reentry. It is a tricky situation. I would love to be able to travel and see my family, specially grandma. 1 Rh_ny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinae 21 Posted September 23, 2012 A person granted DACA can apply for the advanced parole AFTER you get your DACA approved. If you apply for the advanced parole at the time of filing your application for the DACA, your DACA case will be rejected. You must have a good reason to travel out side of the states. Visiting your family isn't a reason your advanced parole will be approved. Going to attend the college in different country, missionary, and etc, are good reasons. As Rawf and Jose mentioned, re-entry matter is unclear. 1 Rh_ny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Rawf and Jose mentioned, re-entry matter is unclear. Going outside the country to attend college at a different country is not recommended either. Why would they give you a work permit just so you can go outside the country to study and contribute to some other country, while the US doesn't gain anything back? You get a work permit to work here in the US, not to study elsewhere. See that's why documents are so hard to get after, people abuse them. People get the opportunity to work legally and after getting it, they want to run away to study at some other country. Makes no sense what-so-ever. 1 Rh_ny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MydreamRN 5 Posted September 23, 2012 Rawf you are right! People who get these permits try to abuse them and push the limits! The reason we are getting the work permit is because we have been raise here since were young and we are Americans in every way but on paper...now people who want to go study to other countrys are pushing it clearly defeats the whole purpose for DACA. 2 Rh_ny and Rawf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, and it's clear no one would get advance parole to go study somewhere else. Advance Parole is only for emergency cases and going to college in a different country isn't considered an emergency case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MydreamRN 5 Posted September 23, 2012 One thing I wanna do is travel to Africa or other poor countries as a nurse to volunteer to help people get medical care of course with a team of doctors and nurses... That's always been my dream! This trips are usually 2 weeks... This would count as a humanitarian reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
