Travel is only allowed with an approved Advance Parole (Form I-131) document — otherwise, the case may be considered abandoned.

Leaving the U.S. without Advance Parole can result in automatic denial of the green card application.

Those with prior immigration violations or unlawful presence may face reentry issues or inadmissibility.

In emergencies, expedited Advance Parole can be requested, but strong proof must be submitted.
