Question:
My
marriage-based Form I-130
has been approved and my Form I485 application is pending. What I
should do if I want to travel overseas, while waiting for the Green
Card?
Answer:
Due
to the case processing backlog within the USCIS, it may take some time
for your to receive the Green Card after the Form I-485 application for
adjustment of status has been submitted.
During this
waiting period, you can apply for an Advance Parole, which
allows you to travel overseas and come back to the United States
without affecting your Green Card application. The only prerequisite
for an Advance Parole is that you have maintained a legal status
throughout your stay in the United States.
