Advance parole.

[Erroneous 0]

A few questions about advance parole.

I read this online..

Upon USCIS approval you will be given conditional resident status (CF-1: conditional green card) as an immigrant in the U.S. IF YOU DEPART THE U.S. WITHOUT HAVING GAINED USCIS APPROVAL AS AN IMMIGRANT YOU MUST QUALIFY FOR AN IMMIGRANT VISA OVERSEAS BEFORE YOU MAY RETURN TO THE U.S. If you need to travel outside of the U.S. before completing the processing, you must apply for Advance Parole at USCIS in order to reenter the U.S. and continue processing.

Is advance parole required only until a temporary or permanent green card is issued? Or will she always need one, even with a permanent green card until she becomes a U.S. citizen?

An Advance Parole is required for traveling from and TO the US while the applicant is waiting for the green card (AOS) to be approved. Once the AOS is approved, the green card is then used to show the individual is allowed to enter the US.

An AP type of Travel Document may still be required with a green card if the green card holder intends to be outside of the US for more than 6 months up to 1 or 2 years to show there is no intent to abandon residency in the US. For general purposes though, the AP is primarily used while waiting for the green card.

By green card, you mean temporary and permanent? I do not know if they differentiate between the two in this matter. Just making sure.

Thank you for the help.

no differentiation on the GC.
