My I-485 was applied 6 months ago and I still haven't received my EAD , AP or even a request for a biometrics appointment. I have a valid H1B. If there is an emergency in India can I travel outside of the country with a valid H1B and not lose my pending I-485 status and green card application. Or do I absolutely need a AP to leave the country maintain my green card status? I was wondering if I have to travel to India for an emergency how much time does it usually take to apply and get an emergency advance parole?

I believe, under normal circumstances, you can re-enter on your valid (& stamped visa) H1B. But due to the travel ban for India, only citizens/PR can re-enter. Please do verify this info.EB1C India - MSC2190XXXXXX

I am also in a similar kind of situation. I applied for advance parole recently. As far as I know, while advance parole is in processing, it is advised not to travel. Now, I wish I shouldn't have applied for advance parole with my I-485. I would also be interested in getting more information on emergency advance parole document.Originally posted by salilsurendran View PostEmployment based AOS
