Cedar Falls, IA asked in Immigration Law for Iowa

Q: Can I travel internationally while my I-140 and I-485 pending?

I am a citizen of Iran. I have concerns about traveling back home as the travel ban is still in effect. I filed I-131 and I-765 along with I-485 and I-140 on February 2018. I received my EAD with advance parole endorsement valid until May 2019. Also, my STEM OPT is still valid through March 2019.

A: Yes. The advance parole document should allow you to leave the country for temporary foreign travel without risking the abandonment of your green card application.
