Advance Parole lets you travel abroad while your adjustment of status is pending without abandoning your Green Card application.

Advance Parole permits individuals with pending applications for adjustment of status (like a Green Card) to leave the U.S. temporarily and return lawfully. Without it, leaving the U.S. can be seen as abandoning the application.

Advance Parole is a special permission to travel while your immigration status is not yet finalized. It does not guarantee re-entry, but it helps avoid complications with U.S. Customs and Border Protection upon return.
