Travel Alert: EAD/AP Combo Card Rejected at Beijing Airport
On December 15, 2011, in Travel, Visa, by IR_Blog Recently we were alerted
to some travelers’ experience at the Beijing International Airport: They
were denied boarding on their way back to the U.S. because their EAD and AP
combo cards were not yet officially recognized by the Beijing Station of
Exit and Entry Inspection.
I called the Beijing station (8610-58105400) and a gentleman answering the
phone confirmed such policy. He said they were instructed not to allow a
traveler to board his/her flight if the sole proof of eligibility for
entering the U.S. is the combo EAD/AP card. And in order for them to accept
the combo card, the U.S. government must notify China, through official
channels, to establish them as valid travel documents.
With the holiday season just around the corner, this is certainly shocking
news. Many Chinese nationals may have plans to visit families in China with
their EAD/AP card. Also because of recent visa bulletin movement, a large
number of people just recently became eligible to file I-485 (along with EAD
and AP), and were excited that they could finally visit China after a few
years of visa retrogression. Although people could use non-immigrant visas
to re-enter the U.S., advance parole (AP) is supposed to be a much easier
and safer way for travel.
There is no indication when the Beijing Station will begin to accept EAD/AP
combo cards, and there is no published information from either the Chinese
or the U.S. government with regard to this issue.
If your trip to China is coming up, you may want to monitor the situation
closely. If you’re already in China, contact the U.S. embassy or consulate
in your area, or a USCIS local office if available, as soon as possible to
seek assistance. Some reported on the internet that other cities in China,
such as Shanghai, did accept the combo card. But this could change without
notice.
I don’t think this particular issue will last long, but you never know. I’
ll update this post as soon as I hear anything. In the mean time, good luck
and travel safely. | a***x 发帖数: 26368 | 2 真tmd 2.进不进的了美国丫门都管。

But this action can't hurt US government a single bit. Those who are hurt
are chinese nationals. So Chinese government is punishing their own citizen
and try to force US government take some action??? How ridiculous.
