Advance parole valid for work travelling?

[ACINLOVE 2]

Hi,

I entered on a K1 visa few days ago. I got my EAD stamped on my passport and I just had an interview with a company asking me to travel to Europe as soon as I got the travel document ready.

I would love to accept that job but I am very confused about the purpose of advance parole.

Is it only for emergency trips to your home country or you can use it unconditionally to travel anywhere?

I read that many people filling it they didn't put the reason of travel because they were scared that seeing the vacation purpose they would have refused it.

Many thanks!

Yes, you can travel anywhere, it's not for emergencies only. You really don't even need to give a reason as to why you want it. For AOS applicants, it's a automatic temporary benefit. You have to apply for it but it's pretty much automatic.

It's a document that allows you to re-enter the US (multiple entry) to continue with your AOS process.

You shouldn't have a problem travelling for work purposes.

Where did you get the EAD stamp...?

I had to travel to Mexico for work while waiting on the AP so I got an appointment at infopass, showed them a printed flight confirmation and work emails. I got the AP in the mail that same week.

NY is still stamping K1's but that stamp does NOT authorize you to work. Be very careful you may be found guilty of working illegally when you get to AOS. You need AOS or EAD to work legally.

Moving from AOS forum to Working & Travelling Prior to Greencard.
