i don't know why they only gave me 3 months, wish i knew

yes, i already traveled with AP - experience wasn't bad - i was a little anxious mainly because i haven't received TPS approval yet, but i knew that i was allowed to use AP since i had consulted with my attorney and also with an immigration officer at local USCIS office - most of the people at the airport and even at immigration checkpoints aren't aware of advance parole - they were confused and asked me what it was - after i tried explaining they would go ask someone else (supervisor i believe) and then they would let me pass. so it was a bit annoying, not as smooth as having visa, but it was fine

p.s. bro haina, sis ho ;)
