Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience. I entered the U.S. through San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on May 1, 2026, using my advance parole combo card while my adjustment of status (AOS) was still pending. As expected, I was taken to secondary inspection, which took about 20 minutes. The officers asked a few basic questions about my employment and then stamped my passport for one year. Everything went smoothly, and the officers were very nice. Two days later, my green card was approved.
