What is Advance Parole (Form I-131)?
Advance Parole is an advance travel authorization that allows certain people with a pending immigration process before USCIS to leave the United States and request reentry without it being considered an abandonment of their application. It is requested using Form I-131. It's especially relevant for people with a pending adjustment of status, asylum application, or other pending process, since traveling without this approved authorization can affect that process. Visa Express prepares the form, organizes evidence of the travel purpose, and guides you through filing with USCIS.
Who Might This Be Right For?
- Have a pending immigration process before USCIS (adjustment of status, asylum, or other).
- Need to leave the United States for a real, documentable reason.
- Want to avoid a trip affecting their pending application.
- Have not yet traveled and have time to process the authorization before departure.
- Can explain and support the reason for the trip.
Each situation must be reviewed individually. Acceptance of the service is subject to the information and documents provided by the client.
What's Included in the Service?
Evidence of the travel purpose is organized exclusively using the real information provided by the client.
What's Not Included?
Having an approved Advance Parole does not guarantee reentry; the final decision belongs to the CBP officer at the port of entry.
Documents That May Be Used
The final list will depend on the pending process and the reason for travel.
