Obtaining an Advance Parole Document
To obtain an advance parole document, you will need to fill out and submit Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. It is critical to work with an immigration lawyer to obtain an advance parole document since there are many different scenarios in which you can ultimately abandon your adjustment of status application and can lose your ability to reside in the United States.
To be clear, you should not assume you have permission to travel because you have submitted a Form I-131. The application must be approved, and the information about your travel dates must be precise and must be approved. As USCIS explains, “if you file this form to request an advance parole document and depart the United States without having an advance parole document that is valid for the entire time you are abroad, we will consider your Form I-131 abandoned.” Further, “if you file this form to request an advance permission to travel for CNMI long-term residents document and depart the CNMI without having an advance permission travel document, your status will automatically terminate.”
