The U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the Advance Parole Documents (Form I-512) will be reissued to the applicants who have received the forms with an incorrect issue date of January 5, 1990. The USCIS has identified all the incorrect documents. All the individuals who received an incorrect document will automatically be reissued with correct documents.The applicants with pending applications need not worry or call the USCIS as the documents with correct expiration date will remain accurate. If the applications have not been processed within the normal processing time of 90 days, then the applicants can contact the USCIS for the processing of their pending applications.

Travel documents are important for non-USA citizens, giving them the permission to return to USA after travelling abroad. Advance parole documents give the foreign nationals permission to enter the U.S. even if they do not have a valid immigrant visa. The Advance Parole Documents must be approved before you make travel plans to allow you to re-enter U.S.A. Advance Parole documents should be obtained before you travel if you are on an adjustment of status application, waiting to receive a decision from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; holding refugee’s or asylee’s status departing temporarily to apply for a US visa; or having a valid reason to travel abroad temporarily. You need to fill Form I-131 in order to receive the Advance Parole Documents and Form I-512 for the renewal of Advance Parole documents.

If the applicants need to travel urgently, the Advance Parole Documents with the incorrect issue date can be used to travel. The applicants will be enquired by the U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), so it is safer to print the re-issue information to communicate with them.
