Fresno, CA asked in Immigration Law for California

Q: Can someone with DACA and a final order of removal travel on advanced parole?

Married to a US citizen and approved I 130 however, I have been unable to get my case to reopen. Some lawyers have told me that legal entry would make my case more likely to be reopened if we argue that I have a legal entry and can adjust my status. However, others Have told me that I would get a 10-year ban. Who is correct? Some lawyers have told me about people in my similar situation who they have helped who have traveled on advanced parole and had no issues returning even if they had a final order.

A: If you have an outstanding order of removal and you leave the United States you will not be admitted when you try to return. If you have an approved I-130 you may be eligible for a waiver. Without a waiver I can not say how long you will be banned from the USA because I have no facts regarding your case.
