On August 13, 2026, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) issued a major decision in Matter of Delcarmen-Lara, 29 I&N Dec. 830 (BIA 2026), overruling the longstanding Matter of Arrabally and Yerrabelly decision.
The new ruling changes how certain departures from the United States using Advance Parole are treated under the unlawful-presence provisions of U.S. immigration law.
In this video, immigration attorney Muhammad Amir explains:
✅ What the BIA decided in Matter of Delcarmen-Lara
✅ How the decision changes the previous Arrabally and Yerrabelly rule
✅ When travel on Advance Parole may trigger the 3-year or 10-year unlawful-presence bar
✅ Who may be most affected, including certain adjustment applicants, DACA and TPS recipients, and individuals with prior unlawful presence
✅ What has not changed about Advance Parole and adjustment of status
✅ Why the timing and amount of unlawful presence accumulated before departure can be critical
✅ What individuals should consider before traveling internationally after this decision
If you are considering international travel using Advance Parole and have a history of unlawful presence, consult with an experienced immigration attorney before leaving the United States.
