Travelling outside of USA during application....

[Shilps.Vik 0]

Hi All,

Could anyone help us with this question -

If I apply for a K-1 visa, marry my fiance in the USA, and then apply for Permanent Residency, am I then able to travel OUTSIDE of the USA (eg. UK/India) whilst my application for permanent residency is being processed?

Or, am I bound to stay within the USA until my Permanent Residency is approved.

Many thanks for your advice and help.

Thanks, but I'm having difficulty finding the section on advance parole - is there a link you could kindly send?

You will be filing an I-131 along with the other forms for Adjustment of status, this will get you an AP document, AP can take 90 days or so to get after filing I-131 with AOS.

Moving this to Work/Travel prior to green-card forum.
