When your wife returns to the USA using her AP, she will not be
classified as "admitted", she'll be classified as "paroled", so it
doesn't matter if she carries proof of AOS or not.

I've been following this forum for about 9 years... and my head just now
suddenly started to throb!

Reading between the lines I believe I am hearing something similar to
what I used to tell my dive students..."Scuba diving is a very safe
pastime but...the only way to be 100% sure that you do not get bent is
to not dive".

So anytime you travel on Advanced Parole you incur risk. It is up to me
to determine if that risk is acceptable. I believe it is; but, perhaps I
need to research more.

Exacerbating my situation is the fact that I fall under the New Orleans
office and they are currently processing AOS's in 16 months. Mamacita
has an 18 month old baby and wants to show her mama the last grandchild
she will ever have. Grandmother is old and in poor health.

Hi:

No, there is no "admission" until the AOS is approved.

BTW, 3 1/2 hour trial at Lancaster today -- 73 miles from office to Mira
Loma Detention. Desert was chilly and quite windy. Did NOT finish the
case and we return on the next available date of January 10th. This guy
has been in custody since July 28th -- and has does done NOTHING wrong
and has complied with the law 100%.

Do you mean that a person adjusting status, when coming back to US on
advance parole, can be arrested without any significant reason? I
thought the worst could happen is to be denied to enter US and sent back
to the original country...

Hi:

The answer is pretty much yes.

In light of that fact do you routinely council your clients to avoid
travel on advance parole?
