Adance Parole

Thank you everybody. We almost decided not to travel until the biometric work is done.

As noted, an LPR does not qualify for AP. They can get a re-entry permit via an I-131, but that would not be wise here as it would expire at the same time as the green card anyway.

You can request rescheduling the biometrics, although I'm unsure how long that can go on.

Your AP will be denied so don't bother. Green card holders cant use AP when they already have...well, green cards.

 

They can travel in their extension letters after they file for ROC. 

 

I'd be more worried about pushing that 7 months stay abroad. 

 

Update to Form I-797 Receipt Notices for Form I-751 and Form I-829

As of June 11, 2018, petitioners who file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, or Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status, will receive a Form I-797 receipt notice that can be presented with their Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card, as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on their Permanent Resident Card.

We are making the change from 12 to 18 months because current processing times for Form I-751 and Form I-829 have increased over the past year.

Additionally, we will issue new Form I-797 receipt notices to eligible conditional permanent residents whose Form I-751 or I-829 was still pending as of June 11, 2018. Those Form I-797 receipt notices will also serve as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on petitioner’s Permanent Resident Card.

As a reminder, conditional permanent residents who plan to be outside of the United States for a year or more should apply for a reentry permit by filing Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, before leaving the country. Read more information on our Green Card webpage.
