Interesting. I have thdd RC same question. many have replied that there is absolutely no problem… one can travel with i131. Some say to consult the lawyer before leaving the country.

it depends whether you were out of your visa status or not before filing for the AOS

I traveled twice with i-131 without issues, Just don't bring any food item inside your bag when coming in, so you don't attract any unnecessary questions or delay, answer questions respectfully, when asked reason for travel.

@worth moo , do I have to any reason for travel like emergency or just can I travel just for pleasure?

They might ask you reason for travel, you can responed with family and business, its very valid, dont stay long, come in with only your personal belongings, remember don't bring food items. you can always buy what you need here, regards.

@worth moo thanks for sharing your experience. what was your visa status before you filed for the AOS? I really want to see my husband but I’m afraid if they won’t let me re-enter☹️

@bibi Rahima, I had my i-130 and i-485 pending during that period.

@worth moo I meant what were your status before filling for the I-130 & I-485? also, do you mind me asking what kind of visa you had when coming to the us. those info will help me travelling with mine😊

@bibi, I came with a visiting visa
R SouthNov 5, 2021
@ worth did you overstay your visa?
w
w mooNov 5, 2021
@R South, am sorry, your question makes no sense, use your initiative to figure the answer.
R SouthNov 5, 2021
i mean… did you have illegal presence in the us before you applied for your adjustment of status? I got my EAD and I want to travel but I’m kinda afraid to do it since I had a little bit over a year of illegal presence when I submitted my case to USCIS.

@R South, they knew you over stayed before they approved your i-131, if you don't have a "criminal record " you should be fine, however dont stay too long on your trip, wishing you best of luck and God protection.
