Hi everyone!
I've received some conflicting answers from other sources, so I'm hoping this community can settle it for me.
I currently have an L1-B visa which was just renewed until February 2024. I am in compliance with the requirements of this visa (same employer, same job, etc.).
I also recently got married to a US citizen and plan to adjust status soon. We haven't yet filed the paperwork for this, but I will be applying for Advance Parole and the EAD.
2 questions:
1. Am I still able to travel with my L1 visa while adjusting status?
2. Would travelling with my L1 AFTER filing the I-485/I-130 but BEFORE receiving the Advance Parole/EAD hinder the process at all?
I would like to file to adjust status ASAP but have unmissable travel plans coming up, and would like to travel home to see family before submitting the I-485/I-130. I'd basically just like to know if I'm causing trouble for myself if I file I-130/I-485 now, instead of after returning from travel.
Thank you!
