Re: advanced parole
Hi capstone,
Yes the only way you can get Advance Parole is if you have filed the I485 petition, so if your Labor for permanent resident has been approved then you can file concurrently I140 and I485 and the AP and EAD. Now after the approval of AP and EAD then you may decide if you want to continue H1B or use EAD. You can also travel then on AP and maintain the H1B status if you are not using EAD card.
As far as travelling you must take advice from your attorney if its appropriate to travel. Personally i would travel only if my Visa expires 6 months after the travel just to be on safe side.
Good Luck

I have heared from a friend in Cisco that one of the Pakistani guy just go revalidated from ST/DC. He is a single guy. I guess it depends and luck. I have visa till Jan 2004. I will visit home before it expires and come back and then apply. Thanks
