Are There Negative Consequences to Obtaining Advance Parole?
Beware. If you have stayed illegally in the U.S. for more than 180 days at the time you filed your application than you may not leave until it’s processed. If you leave without permission from the BCIS, they will consider your application abandoned and you will not be allowed to return. Also be aware that once you obtain advance parole, your immigration status is changed to parolee and if you are denied permanent residency you will have fewer remedies available to you than as a deportable non citizen (your status without advance parole). Because of this, you should only apply to travel outside the U.S. while your application is being processed if it is absolutely necessary. Consult a Lawyer – Present Your Case Now!
