❌ **Case Status: Denied**

A couple's I-131 Advance Parole application was denied because USCIS relied on incorrect CBP travel records showing the applicant had departed the US. CBP confirmed the records are erroneous, and the couple has 30 days to file a motion to reopen.
During an active AOS (I-485) process, an I-131 Advance Parole application was denied based on USCIS data showing the applicant had departed the US on May 10, 2025. Upon checking CBP travel history, approximately 8 incorrect travel records were found, including the erroneous departure date. CBP Deferred Inspection confirmed the records are inaccurate and recommended submitting an FOIA request to obtain correct travel history. The couple now faces a 30-day window to file a Motion to Reopen (MTR) while awaiting legal counsel response.

CBP travel record errors affecting USCIS adjudications are documented but uncommon. When this occurs, the standard remedy is a Motion to Reopen (I-290B) filed within 30 days, accompanied by evidence disproving the erroneous departure — such as passport stamps, airline records, bank statements, utility bills, and the FOIA response from CBP. Filing the FOIA immediately is critical as it may take weeks. Cases with demonstrable CBP data errors have generally been successfully reopened when supported with strong continuous-presence evidence. Do not miss the 30-day MTR deadline regardless of attorney response status.
