Hi,

First of all I wish you the best in your visa journeys.

I have a question about I-131 form. I searched about it but we got confused. Currently I am holding a F-1 Visa and I am on my OPT period right now! My husband is a US citizen we got married 2 months ago and now filing everything together! One of the files that we will send is I-131. Because I want to leave US for a short time just to visit my family! On the Part-2 of I-131 they are asking my Application Type! In this case should I choose the option a (permanent or conditional resident of the US, applying for a reentry permit) or option d ( advance parole)

which one would be appropriate in my case?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I think that since you are not yet (as of filing) a "permanent or conditional resident of the US," then you would choose the Advance Parole option. You are basically filing an Adjustment of Application Status, and then you should at the same time file for your Employment Authorization Document and Advance Parole. Once approved, the Advance Parole would allow you to return to the USA without abandoning your status (if you decide to leave the country before your residence is approved).

Best wishes!

Advance parole is the correct choice.
