I applied for a family-based green card, but I need to travel abroad for an emergency. Can I leave the U.S. while my I-485 is pending?

Yes, but only if you first get Advance Parole; leaving without it will abandon your application.

If you have a valid H-1B or L-1 visa, you may travel and reenter without Advance Parole.

If you leave without proper reentry documents, your case may be denied.

Always check processing timelines before traveling, as it could delay your case.
