Travel Warning
Before you apply for an Advance Parole Document, read the following travel
warning carefully.
For any kind of Advance Parole Document provided to you while you are in the
United States:
(1) Leaving the United States, even with an Advance Parole Document, may
impact your ability to return to the United States.
(2) If you use an Advance Parole Document to leave and return to a port-of-
entry in the United States, you will, upon your return, be an “applicant
for admission.”
(3) As an applicant for admission, you will be subject to inspection at a
port-of-entry, and you may not be admitted if you are found to be
inadmissible under any applicable provision of INA section 212(a) or 235 or
any other provision of U.S. law regarding denial of admission to the United
States. If DHS determines that you are inadmissible, you may be subject to
expedited removal proceedings or to removal proceedings before an
immigration judge, as authorized by law and regulations.
(4) As noted above, issuance of an Advance Parole Document does NOT entitle
you to parole and does not guarantee that DHS will parole you into the
United States upon your return.
(5) As noted above, DHS will make a separate discretionary decision whether
to parole you each time you use an Advance Parole Document to return to the
United States.
(6) If, upon your return, you are paroled into the United States, you will
remain an applicant for admission.
(7) As noted above, DHS may revoke or terminate your Advance Parole Document
at any time, including while you are outside the United States. Even if you
have already been paroled, upon your return to the United States, DHS may
also revoke or terminate your parole in accordance with 8 CFR 212.5.
If you are outside the United States, revocation or termination of your
Advance Parole Document may preclude you from returning to the United States
unless you have a valid visa or other document that permits you to travel
to the United States and seek admission.
