If you are seeking to adjust status to that of a legal permanent resident in the United States: Do not travel outside of the United States, even if you have an Advance Parole document. A new decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals has changed the law regarding travel on advance parole, which once preserved a person's ability to adjust status in the United States if they have a prior lawful entry or parole. The new decision reversed that practice, and now a person's departure from the United States makes a person inadmissible to the United States, making the person ineligible to adjust status without a waiver. Do not travel on advance parole. If you have any questions about this new interpretation of the law, please consult an immigration attorney.

🚨 Already filed your I-485 and have Advance Parole? This update is for YOU.
The new BIA decision in Matter of Delcarmen-Lara changes how Advance Parole travel can affect certain individuals with prior unlawful presence.
⚠️Before you travel, know your history and know your risks. An approved Advance Parole document does not automatically mean traveling is safe for your case.
📌 Pending I-485? Think before you travel. Speak with a qualified immigration attorney first.
