November 6, 2007 - Improper denials of H-1b based on entry with advance parole
There have been numerous recent reports that the California Service Center (CSC) has been denying H-1bs or H-4 solely on the fact that the applicant’s last entry was on an Advance Parole travel document.  The CSC is incorrect in this matter because it is clear that H-1 and/or H-4 nonimmigrant who entered the U.S. with an approved Advance Parole may apply for an extension of H-1 and/or H-4 status.  In fact, the CSC has since confirmed that it is their policy to approve H-1b/H-4 applications in these instances.
