Consider applying for an Advance Parole document to travel abroad while your application is pending, and explore premium processing options if available for certain stages of your application.

You can file Form I-765 for Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to work while waiting, and Form I-131 for Advance Parole to travel, if eligible.

Check if you're eligible for premium processing for certain forms like I-140 or I-130, and consider concurrent filing of Forms I-130 and I-485 if applicable.

File for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Advance Parole document, and ensure timely responses to any Requests for Evidence (RFEs) to avoid delays in your green card process.
