you can travel anywhere in the world on your advance parole,

yes advance parole can take you out and you can travel but I won’t advise you to use it for work due to this administration. I’m not trying to spread fear or any doubts at all. this is just my 2 cents. but again it’s your choice if you want to try it. remember point of entries have different rules and officers so you can’t never tell what to expect. wishing you the best and if you do decide to try let us know how it goes.

Traveling on an advanced parole document out of the US, you can't stay for more than 2 months. At the same time, I would advise you to be very careful.

@Allon God who said its max 2 months?

While there isn't a strict maximum time, a person with AP can stay out of the U.S. with Advance Parole, it's recommended to keep your trips abroad as brief as possible, ideally no longer than 30 to 60 days, even if your Advance Parole document is valid for one to two years or even up to five years in some cases. Extended absences, even with valid Advance Parole, can raise concerns during re-entry and potentially impact your pending Green Card application or other immigration processes.

I’ve stayed over 4 months with AP and I re-entered successfully. Just secondary inspection as usual that’s all.

@tired from waitingg You can very well travel for work or vacation using advance parole. The only risk is your EAD and AP is based on I-485 pending. Knock on the wood, if VAWA decision shows up and if ever denied then i had heard some cases the I-360 together with the I-485 denies which will reflect the EAD and advance parole null and if you are outside US then it might be hard to reenter. Please check this question to a lawyer to clarify. I know one VAWA case who went to India for a vacation and her VAWA got denied but her I-485 wasn’t denied and so she rushed back to US where she was admitted.

@Tom Hank’s Hans they are not connected tho 485 is connected to marriage so i think it would be not automatically denied But you are absolutely right gotta be careful did you start getting new PF for your new case? 🙏

@tired from waitingg True! I had seen two situations and hence shared you to be aware but recommend to check with your lawyer and verify to be safe, sure and confident. Yeah! Since my refile in Sep 2023, I received the first PF in Jan 2024 with a year validity and my second PF in Jan 2025 which was an extension of 6 months and lastly my 3rd PF on July 2025. It’s been almost 22 months since refiled. I am assuming it wondering from other cases that the current processing for approval takes between 36 and 45 months on average. So I could lay back and relax for another 1 to 2 years. In the meantime, I am waiting anytime this week for the H1B approval so that I can plan my travel by end of September for 3 weeks vacation and reenter using my h1B stamped visa and least worry about this VAWA thing 🙂

@tired from waitingg Hurray!!!! Just now my H1B got approved….

@Tom Hank’s Hans congratulations 🍾🎉🎈🎊

@tired from waitingg Thanks! I had sleepless depressed nigbts with this awaited pending VAWA, likewise I also couldn’t sleep due to over excitement with this H1B approval. 🙂

@tired from waitingg How’s life dear? I hope you are busy trying to divert your focus away from the stressful VAWA thought which is good. I preparing myself as my date of departure is nearing as I am leaving to my county after a long 8 years! 😇

@Tom Hank’s Hans im doing well I actually got a real good job move another state i kinda dont focus this vawa journey anymore lol I leave it as it is as long as my work and travel permit is up to date i feel like it can go through omg thats cool have fun and back to here safely let me know how it will go 🙏 stay safe and enjoy dear

@killian Bay, the H1B is an employment sponsor. A company has to sponsor you and before that you need to get through in the H1B lottery draw which is being conducted every February and October. Once you are selected and provided if any employer can sponsor you then you should be able to file H1B and once approved you are good to live and work in U.S. for 3 years. you can renew for another 3 years. in the meantime your employer will file the green card application and you can get the green card. But once the green card application is filed you will be able to indefinitely work with that employer as long as they need your service. You can exit and reenter US any number of time and it’s safe.

@All, what happened? people here became super silent! Get powerball lottery and change your life!!! 🙂

@tired from waitingg Exoecting our group to win the 1.8 billion powerball bcoz we formed a group of 10 and took like 200 quick pick tickets. Win would be shared among us. Hope we hear a good news from today’s draw 🙂

@Tom Hank’s Hans haha 1.8 billion is crazy amount i wouldn’t want that much money it would make me lost😂

@tired from waitingg Heard two people won the first price. One from Texas and the other Missouri. Eaxh shares 450M. Wondering what would be there feeling now? They should be super excited .

@tired from waitingg Anybupdates? am waiting since 2 years since I refilled my Vawa!

@Tom Hank’s Hans nothing yet

@tired from waitingg Bro! what’s happening with these vawaaa. Too long wait times

@Tom Hank’s Hans i have no idea it will be 5 years this January lol

‘@tired from waitingg Not Good 😂. Imagine! I can realize how depressed I was counting since 2018 and then refilled. Wondering in this group there should be many who had lost their senses. This is the most depression process

@tired from waitingg I sm tired of waiting for Vawa approval and hence volunteered today to get the I-693 medicals done and the. sent to my lawyer . this might speed the case.

@Tom Hank’s Hans i mean i hope it will speed the case but i dont really think so

@tired from waitingg In fact my new lawyer asked me for the medicals when he refilled my Vawa in Sep 2023. it would had been a waste of money if ever I had submitted that earlier because this medical report is valid only for two years.. Since it’s been 27 months I felt this medical report one way would speed up the process to arrive a decision.

@Tom Hank’s Hans hopefully 🙏

@tired from waitingg What happened this room? I don’t see anybody active here. Seems everybody is sleeping ! maybe depressed with this Vawa delay

@tired from waitingg By the way, yesterday I collected the medicals I-693 and forwarded to my lawyer. Will receive on Monday and it will be forwarded to USCIS

@Tom Hank’s Hans good for you i hope it will faster your process

@tired from waitingg My dear! today my lawyer received the medical. Also, now when I returned from work I am noticing a letter from USCIS. Let me open it now…. the my 4th prime face . I mean 3rd extension since I refilled in Sept 2023

Good Morning! how are you guys doing? didn’t hear anything from anybody. Any news?

good evening dear! Seems this room is silent. Any updates

@tired from waitingg Any updates about the approval dear?

@Tom Hank’s Hans nope nothing :/

@tired from waitingg I also refiled the Vawa in sept 2023. It’s been almost 31 months. I am noticing that these days it takes 45 months atleast. Hoping a positive reply soon

@Tom Hank’s Hans i hope we will get same time approval

insha Allah

any updates @tired from waitingg

@Tom Hank’s Hans i think we wont hear anything anymore they literally stopped working so i dont really think any uptades

@tired from waitingg I heard one of long awaited Vawa a friend of mine got his approval decision few months back and recently an the for I-485 medicals. I think it should have slowed down but delayed as you said due to huge backlog and less people working on it.
