Q: I want to attend to my sons military basic train in Texas this coming December , how can I travel my GC is not aprov
I applied I-131 with my green card applications last April 29,2019.
How can I expedite the process .can I use my sons graduation as my reason to go?
A: You can travel inside of the United States while you are waiting for your green card to be approved. You do not need an I 131 travel authorization. The I 131 (in your case advanced parole) allows you to travel outside of the U.S. and re-enter while the process is ongoing. Since Texas is inside of the U.S. there should be no problem. I do recommend that you bring the original receipt notices for the I 130, I 485 and I 131 when you travel in order to document that you are in the process of obtaining permanent residency just in case you are stopped by an immigration officer, since Texas is a border state.
