Hello, Good Day. I haven't found a clear answer to my question on any immigration groups, hopefully someone knows and can help me.
I am a US citizen, and my son (a minor 15y) just got his I-485 approved while we are still abroad. We have been using his Advanced Parol in the past a couple of times without a problem to visit family and manage paperwork abroad since my father-in-law passed away. We have lived inside the US for 2 years, while also waiting for the adjustment of status but got the AP after our unfortunate event. We travel only by land, if that matters, so no passport has been needed when crossing the border, just his AP.
I have read that when I-485 is approved when abroad, we can use either the AP or the GC if we can get it delivered on time to re-enter the US, but that's not my concern.
When we started the I-485 process the preparer we hired stated, that once he was approved, we needed to file for the passport/N600 and not use the GC to travel abroad. Will this complicate the process of getting the passport/N600 or why would he mention this? We now have to re-enter with the new info in hand AP or GC (if it gets delivered and we can get it before his return), and apparently it also will depend on the officer that will process us in the border how he registers my son's entrance, AP or GC.
