Can I travel during the pendancy of the Advance Parole renewal?
You must be in the United States when you file for a new Advance Parole. If you leave the United States while using your current Advance Parole, you must reenter the United States using the same document, before it expires. You may not, for instance, apply for a new Advance Parole, then leave the United States using your current unexpired Advance Parole and stay abroad past its validity date. Because you would not be able to reenter using your new Advance Parole once it is approved. In other words, you must reenter the United States using the same document you used when leaving. A new, approved Advance Parole document may not be mailed to you abroad. Therefore we recommend that you do not travel near the expiration date of your Advance Parole document. It is important to plan your travels accordingly. You can request advance parole 120 days in advance of the expiration of your current Advance Parole document.
