... in response to No Problem Whatsoever . . ., posted by Dan on Jul 28, 2002My wife and I are planning a trip to Russia and Ukraine in late September or early October to spend 2 weeks.
My wife is from Odessa, Ukraine.
We applied for advanced parole when we filed for the AOS. The lady at the Louisville INS dept. set our AOS interview for October 15th. At that time the INS never put any I-551 stamp in her passport. Instead about a couple of months ago we recieved this document I-512.
This is just an INS form that has information and her photo pasted to it with Immigration Naturalization Service stamped to it. There is also the Acting District Director's signature stamped on it.
The document reads. "Presentation of the attached document will authorize a transportation line to accept the named bearer on board for travel to the United States without liability under section ...... of the Immigration and Nationality Act for bringing an alien who does not have a visa.
Presentation of the original of this document prior to May 29, 2003 will authorize an immigration officer at a port of entry in the United States to permit the named bearer, whose photograph appears hereon, to enter the United States."
It also states in the remarks section "Multiple entries - Valid until May 29, 2003
My question is if this document will suffice in our travel plans to Russia and Ukraine and allow her to return to USA safely without much hassle.
Also, I wonder if I need to send in anything in order to get special permission for her to enter Russia or Ukraine.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Jim
