Under United States law, a refugee is someone who: Is located outside of the United States. Is of special humanitarian concern to the United States. Demonstrates that they were persecuted or fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
If the noncitizen is in exclusion, deportation, removal, or rescission proceedings and they seek an Advance Parole Document so that they can seek parole upon their return to the United States, USCIS generally will not approve their Form I-131 or issue them an Advance Parole Document.
