Asked in Immigration Law for Texas

Q: Can I get my documents back and travel abroad while my immigration case is still being processed?

My boyfriend is from Cuba and filed for Asylum this year. They have all his documents, including his passport, and his court hearing has been pushed to 2024. I currently live abroad and he wants to visit me.

Can he request his documents back and travel abroad while his case is still being processed? If so, which Form would he have to file, and would he have issues getting back into the US?

Can he apply for a student visa abroad, while his case is still being processed here, or would he have to stop one in order to apply for the other?

Thank you in advance.
