I have a pending green card application, but I need to travel back to my home country for a family emergency. What are the risks of traveling while my application is in process, and should I apply for advance parole?

Inclined to agree with Rob here, advance parole is safest so apply

Rob Walsh · Answer

Traveling without advance parole could be pretty risky for your green card application. I'd suggest applying for advance parole before you leave.

Raj Patel · Answer

My 2 cents. Don't do it. And yes, definitely apply for advance parole.
