Advance Parole

Advance Parole is a document that allows individuals authorized to stay or work in the U.S. based on certain immigration statuses to travel outside the country temporarily without losing their ongoing application or status. It is typically used by those applying for adjustment of status (green card) or other temporary protections. By obtaining Advance Parole before leaving the U.S., travelers can re-enter without abandoning their application or facing extended re-entry delays. Essentially, it acts as a permission slip for re-entry, ensuring that travel does not negatively impact immigration processes.
