I-131 advance parole

[anareyes924 0]

How can I bring my husband back to reenter United States? We were in the middle of processing his documents but he had a family emergency that he had to rush back to Turkey. His advance parole I-131 was approved but not my I-130. Can he travel using just his advance parole and documents stating and supporting why he had to leave USA. What are the actions we need to take?

Did he file an adjustment of status (I130 and I485)?

Was the advanced parole issued prior to leaving the country? How long has he been in Turkey?

yes and they were both approved but he left the country when it was pending and USCIS received our documents in January and left in February , so hes been in Turkey for 6 months exactly.

So he left US without AP approval, then the AOS is considered abandoned.

It doesn't matter if AP arrives in the mail after he left, it's still invalid. He can't use it to re-enter US.

You have to start over with CR1/IR1 spousal visa.

As stated above, since he left before the AP approval, the adjustment of status petition is considered abandoned.

You should be able to continue with consular processing based on the approved Form I-130 petition.
