Travel Outside the United States?
If you are applying for adjustment to permanent resident status, you must receive advance permission to return to the United States if you are traveling outside the United States. This advance permission is called Advance Parole. If you do not apply for Advance Parole before you leave the country, you will abandon your application with Immigration and you may not be permitted to return to the United States.
Yes, but you must receive permission in advance before leaving in order to return to the U.S. This advance permission is called Advance Parole. If you do not apply before you leave the country, you will not be permitted to return to the U.S. and your application for asylum will be considered abandoned. On the other hand, if your application for asylum is approved, you apply for a Refugee Travel Document, allowing you to travel in and from the United States.
