Frequently asked questions
Can I travel while my adjustment of status application is pending?
Generally you need advance parole (applied for via this form) before leaving the US while an I-485 is pending, or you risk your application being considered abandoned — check current USCIS guidance for your situation.
What's the difference between the travel document types on this form?
A re-entry permit is for lawful permanent residents planning extended travel; a refugee travel document is for refugees/asylees; advance parole is for certain applicants (like pending adjustment of status) who need permission to return after traveling.
Can I file I-131 with other forms?
Yes — it's often filed concurrently with Form I-485 or I-765, depending on your situation.
