Advance Parole

Thai Citizens

K1 Visa Advance Parole

 

If you are a K1 visa holder who would like to travel outside of the United States before you become a permanent resident, you will need to apply for permission to re-enter the United States after your trip.  This permission is known as “advance parole.” 

 

If you leave the United States without applying for and receiving advance parole, U.S. Customs and Immigration will declare that you abandoned your immigration application and you will have to start the immigration process over from the beginning!  Once you receive your permanent resident card (green card), you will be able to leave the United States four up to a year at a time without obtaining special permission. 

 

Only K1 visa holders who have already married their American fiance are eligible for advance parole.  If you waited more than 180 days after your K1 visa expired to file your I-485 (Application to Adjust Status), do not leave the United States!  Leaving the U.S. in this situation will make adjusting your status much harder.  If you filed your I-485 before your K1 expired or soon after, you can leave the United States as long as you receive advance parole first.
