Hello everyone,
I have read from many sources on the internet, most of them are posted from Q&A sessions of professional immigration law. I have learned that "Advance Parole allows the alien to leave the United States without abandoning the pending adjustment application. Upon return to the U.S., the alien is not admitted. Rather he is paroled into the U.S. This has problems in and of itself because, if the underlying application for adjustment is denied, the alien is placed into removal proceedings (is it "deportation"?) as an arriving alien. Intending immigrants who receive advance parole reasonably believe that they have permission to return to the United States without a problem. While that belief is reasonable, it is not always true. Advance parole simply allows the alien to leave without abandoning the pending application for adjustment. It does not deal with or solve any of the other potential problems that may arise when the alien leaves the U.S."
I came for free consultation at two different legal services, they advised the similar thing that while the AOS is pending, the beneficiary shouldn't travel outside of the U.S. to prevent further complex issues. I need advice.
