Admitted as Parole though GC approved

[mb2015]

My GC approved while travelling last week. I came to US today and informed officer that my GC approved last week and gave my advance parole. The officer admitted as paroled. Is this an issue?

I wouldn't worry about this - this is fairly common. An officer presented with this scenario can either (1) admit you as an LPR and put a temporary "I-551" stamp in your passport (probably the correct action legally); or (2) admit you as a parolee (which they do more often than not because they're busy and it's more expedient).

 

If you informed the officer and he/she chose to parole you, I see this as a non-issue, and I've never seen this become a problem.

 

Congratulations!
