FAQ: Traveling with a Pending AOS Application
Giselle Carson Jun 15, 2014 in FAQ
Q: Can I travel outside the United States if I have a Form I-485, adjustment of status, application pending?
A. Typically, the answer is no. If you depart the U.S. with a pending Form I-485, your adjustment application can be considered abandoned. However, you might be able to travel abroad if you have applied for and received an approved advanced paroled (AP) document from USCIS. It typically takes 90 days from filing to receive the AP document.
