Advance Parole is a travel document for individuals who are in the process of adjusting their status (applying for a green card). Rather than having to use a visa, the advance parole document allows an applicant who is currently waiting for their I-485 application to be processed by USCIS to reenter the U.S. after foreign travel.

Use of an Advance Parole can affect a foreign national’s underlying nonimmigrant status, depending on the specific situation. As there are pros and cons for using an advance parole document, each individual should consult their immigration attorney.
