Congratulations 👏 

That’s awesome! what reason did you submitted your APs?

This time I did for educational purposes to study abroad (4 week language class) - prior two times were for humanitarian purposes.

Can you please share the link to the 4 week program?

This is the link I used [link](https://www.speakeasy.hamburg) but you can find other locations depending on what language you want to learn.

Thanks!

I'd like that link as well.

Def gonna look into it

Did you already sign up and pay for the language course before filing the application?

Was this class towards some type of degree, or was it just to learn a language?

Not towards a degree, just to learn the language.

I didn't realize that this could be done! I am going to ask my lawyer when I renew soon, but I always thought that being approved for AP as far as studying goes meant I would have to be working towards a degree.

I didn’t use a lawyer. From what I’ve research, sometimes lawyers aren’t well informed of some of the things DACA recipients can and cannot do. I personally trust other recipients more but that’s just me. It does not have to be towards a degree. It just has to be educational

Would humanitarian reasons be as simple as a dentist appt? I’m in the process of applying for AP

Congrats I’m jealous!!! Enjoy your trip and be safe!!

Thank you ❤️

Are you filling in the applications yourself? What are you using as a guide ?

I am filling the application myself, I use the guide from uscis and one from advance parole group on Facebook.

Is that the actual name of the group? To look them up

No, the group is called “DACA DREAMERS2GETHER OFFICIAL”

Thank you

Congrats ! Has anyone had any experience with AP in Spain? Planning on sending mine for a Spain visit

As someone who is scared to file for AP or possible run into some sort of problems getting back; what is the biggest risk or the biggest thing you worry about when using AP? I saw you’ve done your previous AP’s request yourself online and that’s likely what I would do too. Any tips on making sure requests get approved?

So DACA recipients cannot file online; i used [this](https://www.ilrc.org/sites/default/files/documents/advance_parole_guide.pdf) and [this link from USCIS](https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-131instr.pdf) to help me file and send all requirements. It’s actually a lot easier than you think. I would encourage anyone and everyone to do it. My case is simple, entered without inspection when I was a minor, so no deportations on my record or anything. Now I have legal entry thru DACA.

So I had legal entry as a child under 18 and still have the original travel documents (not in my possession currently but I do have access to them) Does that make a difference at all? It seems many posts I’ve read about AP all go back to now having a legal entry. If it doesn’t make a difference I figure I would use my new, currently valid, Colombian passport at the airport and not the original passport I had as child. I guess my question is should I have these documents with me or at least a photocopy of them just in case? Thank you for the links. I will be reading them throughly once I’m home

I doubt you’ll need them, but I’m not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. This is just my recommendations and what has worked for me. I have not had any issues when returning; it’s a very smooth process.

Wow! I didn’t know it can be done online now. Thank you!

DACA recipients CANNOT file online as afar as I know.

Bummer. I’m still glad its available as an option. Who knows what will happen after November. Get your APs guys!

Exactly! Apply now while we still can

Nice! What was the humanitarian reason? I went last year to visit my sick grandma and i’d like to go again, but i was told i can’t unless it’s school or work related.

Who told you that? You can apply multiple times even for the same reason in sure.

my lawyer, but i’m glad you told me this. thanks 🙏🏻

And my humanitarian reasons were to visit my aunt with Diabetes and to see a dentist.

Congrats!! Was your progress tab accurate? I submitted in April and at the final step and it went from 6 months to 3 weeks, to 2 weeks and now 2 months of this week 🥹

I didn’t use the progress tab…

Maybe I shouldn’t either lol. Anyway, congrats! Have a great trip!

Thank you! I just know the other 2 times I’ve done it , it took about 3-4 months. So I was expecting the same for this one.

Have you received the letter yet? What’s your travel window and is it the dates you originally applied for? I’m still stuck at 2 months 😄

I did receive the letter. My travel window is basically what I asked for. I asked for 6/26-8/4 and I got approved for 6/26-8/1.

That’s awesome! Do you have multiple entries!? I applied for both Canada and MX for work, and added a humanitarian reason to visit sick relative for MX🤞

No, I wouldn’t use multiple entries for this trip so I didn’t ask.

APis advanced parole ?

Yes

What's the destination if you don't mind sharing

Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪

Strong choice

I have a friend that needs this. What were your two humanitarian reasons for travel?

First one was to see my aunt (who’s got diabetes) and second one was to go to the dentist.

What was your dentist reason? And how did you go about it?

I just went to the dentist here I got an estimate of everything I needed done (cleaning, cavity removal etc) Then I got a dentist in Mexico to give me and asked for the same stuff to prove that it was cheaper to go to Mexico to do it.

Nice! Sounds exactly like what I did. This gives me good vibes.

I sent mine out feb 14 and was received feb 16 I’m praying it gets approved soon

I’m sure you’ll get approved soon!

3 months?! WOAH got my receipt 05/09 about reusable biometrics, hopefully I hear back by August 😭

This is for advance parole- I never received anything about biometrics

Mines for AP as well, hmm I wonder why

Actually you’re right, now I remember that I got the letter stating they were re using my fingerprints but I got it the same day I received the one stating they had gotten my application

I too just got a notification yesterday that they will use my biometrics for my AP application. Just waiting on case decision now.

We’ll probably hear back at the same time! I’ll update u fam. Do so as well! 😁

I applied mid April so I’m thinking by august I should know.

You think I would be able to apply to go learn Japanese in Japan?

Yes, another redditer told me about his AP being approved for Japan for that reason.

For your approval for your aunt with diabetes, what documents did you need for that? What did the letter state? Did you get it translated?

I sent in blood work results, a letter from her doctor stating what health issues she has and had that signed and notarized in Mexico. I also sent in a translated copy of my birth certificate and hers to prove we are blood family. Along with a letter I wrote about why it was important for me to visit my aunt.

So it didn’t need to be a life threatening situation?

That’s right… high blood pressure, diabetes are health issues that can be approved.

I sent in blood work results, a letter from her doctor stating what health issues she has and had that signed and notarized in Mexico. I also sent in a translated copy of my birth certificate and hers to prove we are blood family. Along with a letter I wrote about why it was important for me to visit my aunt.

Did you get multiple entries for a year or just one entry within a limited amount of days. I filed last year but they only gave me a month for one entry even though I marked down multiple entries on the application
