Is a honeymoon a valid excuse to apply for advance parole?

Question

I am a US Citizen marrying a immigrant this year. Because of her status, she cannot leave the country "no visa, no papers". She does have a valid passport of her native country. Since we know the processing times of applying for residency, if we were to apply for a travel document "advance parole", would they grant this to us if we wanted to simply go on our honeymoon, rather than wait 6-12 months for the green card?? I understand the travel document can take a few weeks to a month or two. It seems we should not leave the country even if we get approved for the advance parole so we were thinking of going to Hawaii.

When I do fill the form out, what should I put as a reason of obtaining such document? Just being honest and put honeymoon?? instead of putting emergency or something of that nature. What would be the reason of being denied?

Answer 1

nope. it has to be an emergency. wait until her papers have been processed for the honeymoon.

Answer 2

Just be honest and upfront.  If you need to wait for her papers then WAIT!  There are a lot of nice places within the U.S. borders to honeymoon, why not choose someplace she hasn't seen?  If she's a new immigrant she should be eager to see the continental U.S.A.!!!

Answer 3

You can find more information at http://USCIS.gov/. There is a good chance if you leave the country, she may not be allowed back in.  The original visa is usually a "one time entry" visa.
