What Is Advance Parole?
Advance parole is a travel document that allows you to leave and re-enter the United States while you have a pending immigration application. Without advance parole, departing the U.S. with a pending application can be considered abandonment of that application.
The most common applicants include people with pending adjustment of status (green card) applications, refugees and asylees who need to travel, and humanitarian or employment-related travelers.
DACA recipients have a separate advance parole process — see our DACA Advance Parole page.
Important Warning
Traveling without advance parole while you have a pending application can result in your application being considered abandoned. Even with advance parole, certain prior immigration violations can trigger bars to re-entry. DocPros prepares your documents — for advice on whether travel is safe in your specific situation, consult with an immigration attorney.
