Yes, a person with DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) can apply for advance parole, but only under limited circumstances. Advance parole allows a DACA recipient to travel outside the United States and return legally. USCIS generally grants it for reasons such as educational purposes (like study abroad or research programs), employment purposes (such as overseas assignments or job training), or humanitarian reasons (such as visiting a sick relative or attending a funeral).

Yes. Individuals with DACA may request advance parole by filing Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) with USCIS. Advance parole is generally approved for educational programs, employment opportunities, or urgent humanitarian reasons, such as visiting a critically ill family member. However, approval is discretionary, and CBP officers at the port of entry make the final decision on whether the person may return to the U.S. Traveling without advance parole terminates DACA protection and could lead to being denied reentry.
