Advance Parole and H1-B

[alexgrd]

I am applying for AOS based on DV lottery
and I have current H1-B.
Do I need Advance Parole to travel abroad?
I am quite positive that AP is not necessary
when I adjust the status based employment
(see Cronin's memo):

Thank you for your help,

Hello. I also applied for AOS with an H1B visa, under DV2006. You do not need the travel document or AP (I-131 application) as long as your H1B status remains valid.

Good luck to all.



In case you are interested, my detailed AOS2006 experience is posted at:

One needs to have a valid stamped visa in passport to come back.However,if you get advance parole and travel on it then you have abandoned your H1 status.

This is only my opnion!!!
