FAQ

AP i-131 is for travel purposes outside the us which upon return you get paroled into the US and thus legal entry. I-131F or PIP does not mean you get to travel but rather get paroled and the “legal entry” without ever needing to travel.
Who is eligible to apply for advance parole? Advance parole is an option for certain noncitizens within the U.S. This includes recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), recipients of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), T and U visa holders, and most applicants who have already applied for a green card.
For most cases, you may request an expedite by contacting the USCIS Contact Center or by asking Emma. (You can access Emma by clicking on the Ask Emma icon on the top right of this page). You need to explain why you need expedited processing.
