Attorney_15 Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Generally, if one is denied boarding a flight because of an invalid visa, which is unexpired on the face of it, it is because the visa has been revoked. One would need to contact the consulate for more information or check through emails, including spam, to see whether there was any notice provided. While one can try using an Advance Parole to board a flight, there is a risk that CBP will refuse the person entry to the US which in most instances risks an expedited removal order and a 5 year bar. Normally, the only way to avoid such a penalty is by travelling through a country that has a CBP preclearance station where one can present their Advance Parole to CBP without and before actually entering the US.
