Advance Parole: Travel Without Jeopardizing Your Immigration Status

Whether you’re a DACA recipient, an adjustment of status applicant, or someone facing a family emergency abroad, Advance Parole can be your lifeline for international travel. However, applying without legal guidance can put your status at risk. At the Law Office of Roxanne Rochester, we help you apply for Advance Parole confidently and correctly, making sure you’re prepared for any immigration implications before you leave U.S. soil.

What Is Advance Parole?

Advance Parole is a Form I-131 travel permit issued by USCIS that allows non-citizens, especially those waiting on green cards or covered under DACA, to travel abroad and reenter the U.S. lawfully. It’s not just a ticket for travel; it’s legal protection.

Our office supports clients through every step of the application process, ensuring they understand when and how to use this benefit safely. Whether you’re dealing with family emergencies, employment travel, or humanitarian reasons, we provide guidance that protects your future.

Who Needs Advance Parole?

You may need to apply for Advance Parole if:

  • You’re a DACA recipient requesting a DACA travel document
  • You’re in the middle of the green card process (adjustment of status)
  • You’re seeking a USCIS emergency travel permit for urgent humanitarian reasons
  • You’ve filed for asylum and need limited permission to travel
  • You’re on TPS or another temporary status and must leave briefly

Advance Parole lets you return without abandoning your case. Without it, even a short trip abroad can be considered as voluntarily giving up your application or status.

How the Application Process Works

The process begins by filing Form I-131 along with supporting evidence based on your reason for travel. Here’s what our firm handles for you:

  • Assessing your eligibility based on your current immigration status
  • Gathering required documentation (proof of emergency, DACA proof, etc.)
  • Completing and submitting the Form I-131 travel permit
  • Monitoring USCIS updates and guiding you through the Advance Parole processing time

Our clients also receive preparation on how to speak with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) when reentering the U.S., an often-overlooked but crucial step.

Why Legal Help Matters

Traveling while your immigration application is pending can be risky. USCIS might deny reentry or delay your case if the proper protocol isn’t followed. With Roxanne Rochester as your immigration attorney, you get a partner who understands both federal law and the real-life complexities that affect individuals and families trying to do things right.

We offer compassionate, one-on-one service that makes navigating USCIS emergency travel permit rules and timelines much easier. You get both peace of mind and legal protection.

Understanding Advance Parole Processing Time

Many clients ask about the Advance Parole processing time. Typically, it takes 90–150 days from the time of filing. However, if you’re facing a family emergency, medical need, or other urgent issues, we can help you request any sort of emergency Advance Parole appointment at your local USCIS field office.

Every moment matters when you need to be with loved ones abroad. That’s why we work fast and stay proactive.

FAQ's: Advance Parole Explained

Yes. If approved, a DACA travel document allows you to travel internationally for educational, employment, or humanitarian reasons.

Regular processing takes about 3–5 months. Emergency requests may be granted much faster with sufficient documentation.

Leaving the U.S. without Advance Parole while your case is pending may result in case abandonment or denial of reentry.

You must file Form I-131 with USCIS and include proper evidence. Our office can guide you through every step.
