My I-485 application has
been pending about one year already, and I want to travel outside the U.S. this
summer. Do I have to apply for an Advance
Parole before my traveling?
A:
Since your
I-485 is pending, you need to apply for an Advance Parole before traveling outside
the U.S.. The Advance Parole application
process is not fast, so you need to give enough time before the traveling.
While your I-485 is
pending, the Advance Parole gives you certainty to re-enter the U.S., more than
your current non-immigrant visa. Furthermore,
if your current non-immigrant
visa (like H-1B) is terminated while you are on the trip, because of the your
employment termination or the company change, you normally will be allowed to
enter the U.S. with an Advance Parole.
