What’s that new rule about maintenance of H-1 and L-1 status for certain adjustment applicants?
Earlier, all H-1 and L-1 adjustment status applicants were required to obtain advance parole prior to traveling outside the U.S. However, now, if you are an adjustment of status applicant and have maintained your valid H-1 or L-1 status, you are eligible to travel outside the U.S. without showing to have abandoned your adjustment case. While traveling on H1 or L, please make sure that your visa is valid, you are continuing to be eligible for the classification, and you have with you,, the original adjustment of status receipt notice – I-797.
