Talk:Advance parole

Japan
This article talks a lot about American re-entry permits, but you also need a re-entry permit for Japan (assuming that you need a visa in the first place, which you might not need on all occasions, depending on nationality, length of stay and purpose of stay).

Guarantee of re-entry
The last section says that re-entry is not guaranteed with advance parole. Only US citizens are guaranteed entry and even they are subject to CBP inspection. Every and any immigration benefit can be rescinded. Every immigrant and visitor must know this obvious fact.

FAQ
This page reads like a FAQ, and is most probably copy-pasted from a website, consider COPYVIO? --  李博杰    | —Talk contribs email guestbook complaints 13:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Who needs Advance Parole?
The language at the end of this paragraph:

==Note: Aliens holding valid K-3 or K-4 visas, as well as H-1 (temporary worker in a specialty occupation) or L-1 (intra-company transferee) visas and their dependents in H-4 or L-2 status who have filed for adjustment of status do not have to file for advance parole as long as they maintain their non-immigrant status.[1]

Contains the typical government jargon popularised by tax returns and immigration documents, and is thus largely incomprehensible except to experts - such statements take the general form:

You do not need to do Foo unless you are Bar.

However, Bar is seldom explained/linked to layperson readable documentation, and the frequency/likelihood of Bar is not given, nor are the likely conditions under which Bar holds. In this case Bar is linked to a government code, which falls squarely into 'only understandably by immigration lawyers', rather than a guide for the layperson.

An unsophisticated reader can understand either:


 * I need to do Foo.
 * I do not need to do Foo.

Depending upon whether Bar sounds familiar or not.

Suggestion:

Add a sentence explaining whether or not K3, K4, and H1 holders are likely to maintain their non-immigrant status, or not, and if not, the (popular) name of the process which would change that.

For instance:

H1 holders ... who have filed for adjustment of status do not have to file for advance parole as long as they maintain their non-immigrant status. The popular family pastime of pinoche usually involves relinquishing non-immigrant status during the final flop.

I understand that wikipedia is not intended as legal advice, but a lay understanding makes further research easier to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:149:4:1503:9b0:9d3d:69dd:91cf (talk) 20:17, 25 August 2015‎ (UTC)
