A: Congrats on your wedding. Advanced Parole is a travel permission the US government offers to persons in the USA that allows them to go abroad and return and continue their immigration process. So it would not be available for your spouse. You need to complete the form for him, called the I 130 and submit it with the needed evidence. When it is approved there are other forms and documents to submit and when those are approved he still has to be interviewed at the consulate in his country. The processing time can vary dependent on all the things you need to do.

Good luck.
