I-131 RFE departed US without advance parole
I have departed US back home for a family emergency last year. From the letter it says that application will be abandoned if I leave the country before I-131 approve. I am in H1b and my I131 been pending for more than a year. my lawyer didn’t tell me the consequences of leaving the country. how should I respond to this RFE?

You are safe If you are on H1b. You can reenter the US with your current status if you have a visa stamp.

@Super Man: yeah I came back to the US no problem. but now I received the RFE for my I-131 regarding my travel before it appove. Do you mean that I should respond to the RFE with my H1B information and the visa stamp on my passport so USCIS will continue process my I-131 application?
Super ManMay 13, 2022
Yeah. Just respond that you are not out of status. Also, consult with an immigration attorney for directions.

Hello. May I know if they approved your i131?
Mayur PatilNov 14, 2022
I have same case. Is it safe to respond the RFC with travel dates and H1B details? And we can refile the I131 .
Davinia HernandezNov 15, 2022
I did it. But they have not responded yet. And I sent a new I-131 application but I don’t have the receipt number yet.
