Yes, people from countries on the pause list have traveled on Advance Parole after January 21 and reentered without issues. The key thing to understand is that the visa issuance pause affects immigrant visas processed at consulates abroad, not adjustment of status cases inside the U.S. Advance Parole is handled by USCIS and CBP, not the consulate. Reentry is still discretionary, and you may be sent to secondary inspection, but that’s common and not automatically a problem. As long as your AP is valid, your I-485 is pending, and you don’t have new inadmissibility issues, nationality alone has not been triggering denials under current practice. - Attorney Ana Gabriela Urizar (All information shared here is for general educational purposes only.
