Favorable Interpretation on Advance Parole

[Sri4GC]

The issue was raised regarding travel while an Advance Parole is pending. Specifically, it was noted that the Form I-131 instructions state that travel outside of the U.S. before the advance parole document is issued will result in abandonment of the I-131 application.

The question was whether the limitation applied to persons who have a previously approved advance parole prior to departure and for those with pending I-485s traveling in H1B, H-4, L-1, L-2, K-3, K-4, V-2 or V-3 categories.

The short answer is that the limitation does not apply to these categories, provided the approved advance parole or above-listed status does not expire while the person is outside the United States.

I think it says exactly what we knew already. You cannot leave USA before AP approval (but leave if you have already approved AP. but in that case you have use old non-expired AP). And if you have non-immigrant visa, you can use that.
