Yes you can. I’m Salvadoran married to an US Citizen and I have travelled to the US like 5 time with my I-130 pending of approval. I just showed evidence that I was going back to my country and I entered without any problems. I tried to keep my record clean so they can see they can trust me with I’m still with the whole process pending.

@Juan Vidal What evidence did you show the officer at the US border?

@Nattlestar 🇨🇦 🤞 I am USC and spouse is Canadian also with pending I-130. we just returned 2 weeks ago from a visit to the states and it was very easy. we did not have to show any proof of return, they just asked my husband when he was returning and that was it.

@ag g I am a Canadian and I am flying into Canada on Sept 12 with a pending I-130 and returning to the US by car with my American husband on the 20th of September. Will they require me to bring my pending I-130 form to the US Border? Did you have to file an Emergency Advance Parole?

@Nattlestar 🇨🇦 🤞 in my case I just presented the return airline ticket and that I was on vacation from my job (printed copy of my boss authorization for vacations and when I was going back to work). I guess that depends on the CBP officer. Some of them ask, others don’t, because on my last 2 trips they haven’t asked anything at the border.

@Juan Vidal Which airport did you fly from? I’m flying from Cincinnati to Toronto and driving back with my husband. We will drive through to the U.S. from Canada and will be driving through Detroit.

@Juan Vidal I will not be able to provide a return ticket, as I will be driving back. will that be an issue?

@Nattlestar 🇨🇦 🤞 in your case are you doing a adjustment of status or via consular? because I am doing my process via consular and I traveled from San Salvador via Miami and from San Salvador via Houston.

@Juan Vidal I have an I-130 and an I-485 that’s pending. I submitted an I-131 in May, but the I-130 might get approved before the 1-131 gets approved.

@Juan Vidal I-485 adjustment of status.

@Nattlestar 🇨🇦 🤞 I think that if your case is an adjustment of status you need an advance parole. Not sure about that. I think is better consult an immigration lawyer if that is the case

@Juan Vidal I’m pretty sure I need an advance parole. I will consult with an immigration lawyer.

@Nattlestar 🇨🇦 🤞 yes, I think that too. That’s why I decided to continue with consular process instead of adjustment of status because I still needed to travel because of my current job and finish pending at my country before moving to the US

@Juan Vidal That makes more sense now as to why you could leave.

@Nattlestar 🇨🇦 🤞 yep, that’s why at the beginning when I traveled to the US I presented proof that I was just in a 2 or 3 week trip and returning to my country to wait and continue with the consular process.

Thank you so much this is aleiviating my concerns for sure!
