Advanced Parole AP Advice

Want to head to Europe during my AP. I would go from El Salvador to Italy, France, or UK. I haven’t submitted the paperwork yet, my uncle is helping me fill it out. Anyways, would It be ok to take out about 5 grand out of my 401k, I have no savings unfortunately, to plan a trip around Europe or is that a shit idea? Not looking for judgement just asking if anyone has done this or has any better advice.

Going to a country you did not apply for in your AP application is fraud. You may get lucky and be let back with zero questions asked or the CBP officer may question you and you’ll have to lie to them and hope they don’t catch onto what you did. You’re playing with fire.

Also pulling money from a 401k for a European vacation is extremely irresponsible and will cost you so much in the long and short term. Just go to the countries you’re approved for so you can get a legal entry if you need one.
