I-131

[Jane & Joe 0]

Hello Visa Journey Members...

Anyone can give me advise if I need to apply I-131 together with my AOS and I-765?Because I don't plan to travel out of the country this yr..I plan to do next year..Do I still need to apply advance parole?thank you for any advice...

You're not obliged to, but I highly advise you to do it.

Mainly because you never know if you may suddenly need to come back in your home-country (or anywhere) for a family emergency (for example). Your AOS may take a year to be approved.

But also because it's free to apply for it when it is done with the I-485.

Because the form is super easy to fill in (you can write "Unknown" as date and length of your trip).

Because the documents asked with the I-131 are basically the same as the ones asked for the AOS or EAD forms, so you just make a few extra photocopies (+2 more id pics).
