USCIS’s Travel Notice

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) anticipates an unusually high volume of requests for advance parole and other travel documents this winter, given the occurrence of three major religious observances - Christmas, Hanukkah, and Hajj during the month of December. USCIS urges applicants needing a travel document (Advance Parole) to file Form I-131, Application for Travel Document (available online at www.uscis.gov), before the end of October 2006.

 If you are applying for renewal of your advance parole document (I-512L or I-512), USCIS will accept and adjudicate a Form I-131 filed up to 120 days before the date your current advance parole expires.

Please Note:

Individuals requesting advance parole must be approved before leaving the United States. Travel outside of the United States without advance parole may result in serious consequences including being unable to return to the United States and having pending immigration-related applications denied.

Only individuals with a pending I-485 can apply for Advance Parole, or one can apply Advance Parole when he/she files the I-485 petition. One with a pending I-140 cannot apply for Advance Parole.
