I-485/advance parole and travel within the US

[spr9]

All,

Can someone please help answer the following question? My wife is a student who just applied for her I-485 in Feb. 02 and is waiting for her receipt. She needs to attend a conference in Hawaii in May and my lawyer is saying that she cannot travel because she first has to get her advance parole. Hawaii is considered to be a US state...so why is there a need to get advance parole??

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Idon\'t think she need an AP for travel to Hawaii.

According to what you said, No, AP not needed. If the lawyer really said that and meant that, he/she should be fired right away.
