Yes, but you must apply for and receive Advance Parole (Form I-131) from USCIS before leaving the U.S. If you travel without this permission, USCIS may consider your green card application (Form I-485) abandoned, and you could be denied re-entry. Always wait until your Advance Parole is approved before making international travel plans.

If your green card application is pending and you leave the U.S. without first obtaining Advance Parole, your application will likely be denied. Advance Parole allows you to return to the U.S. while your application is still being processed. There are some exceptions for certain visa holders, such as H-1B and L-1, but most applicants need Advance Parole before traveling.

Traveling while your I-485 (adjustment of status) application is pending can jeopardize your case unless you have an approved Advance Parole document. USCIS uses this document to allow re-entry without considering your application abandoned.
