Congratulations on your excellent video! I need to travel outside US to have surgery (I think it may take about 8 months) Could you make a video on how to fill I-131 in cases of green card holders?

[@GenovevaScott]

Hi Kseniya International: I have a few questions about the I-131 application. There is an option for advance parole documentation solicitation that asks if you are a person soliciting the advance parole for someone who is outside the US

[@majidzamiri7292]

Thanks for this wonderful video. Please let me know: 1. A DV winner can request for reentry permit immediately after entering to the US? 2. Completing a project outside the US (in primary company that applicant works with) could be an appropriate reason to be mentioned in I-131?

[@victoregarcia4256]

Que bien video la verdad ! Yo tengo la combo card y mi i360 y i485 están pendientes , tengo la inquietud de salir a ver in familiar enfermo pero yo tuve una salida voluntaria por un ticket en el 2008 y regresé en el 2009 (sin inspección) abra algún problema con eso al reentrar ?

[@DearBelleOfficial]

Thanks for being clear in explanation. 1) Can you return to the U.S. with a 10-year permanent green card that still has 1 month before it expires? 2) If you're renewing your 10-year permanent resident card, can you still travel while waiting for the new green card to arrive? If not, is there a form you need to fill out? Thanks again.

[@yocsiankong9997]

You are super helpful and your videos are well explained. I have a question about travel, the advance parole is for travel outside, but can I travel domestically if I already filed my package and my last day for being on the US according to my I 94 it already expired.?

[@KseniyaInternational]

You can travel internally

[@rockyedimo2416]

Thank you for this explanation. Please I have an issue. I’m a Green card holder through the DV lottery, but I haven’t yet received my green card. The raison they gave me is that they didn’t receive the sealed envelope that I dropped at the airport when I entered in US. I went to the immigration last month to fill the form for them to reproduce the visa packet and process my green card.My visa will expire in September and I need to go overseas in October. Can I use the I-131 form to come back in US??

[@mariaspringer3030]

Hi Kseniya, I am a permanent US resident, originally from Venezuela. As a permanent resident I would like to apply for a Reentry Permit because getting a passport from Venezuela is much more difficult and I am not going back to Venezuela. Is it ok to use a Reentry like a passport?

[@marielaparedes6753]

hi if i have a non immigrant visa and i am applying for adjustment of status based on marriage to a u s citizen do i need to apply fopr advanced parole anyways? on the form it asks about intended date of travelling but i am not planning to travel outside , so what should i do? should i still apply for I-131? thanks in advance.

[@Unplugged704]

Great video! So my relative with a green card (here 20+ years), wants to visit homeland in Laos for a couple months, need to complete I-131?

[@manojshah-]

As explained by her if you want to stay outside of the USA for less than 6 months you need not require it. In our case we stayed in India for 10 months after receiving our Green Card (that is less than a year) we didn't take a reentry permit and we are now in the USA at present (May 2024) without any problem. As we want to stay in India for more time to take care of my 85 years old Mother we have applied for the reentry permit and our biometrics have been waived. Now we are waiting for their response for the reentry permit.

[@sayedlakanwal2512]

I liked your video

[@martinejanssens1887]

The best explanation ever! Absolutely crystal clear! 👍 I am a Belgian citizen residing in Singapore. Me eldest son (28y) is a US citizen. We applied for my I-485 while I was with him in 2017. My biometrics were done. But I waited very long for my advance parole even filing as “expedited processing”! Unfortunately I had to return for my youngest son ( a minor at that time) who entered university in Singapore before my I-131 was received. As a result my whole application was abandoned. I was informed I might be unable to re-enter the USA within 3 years. Now it’s nearly 4 years later and I would love to return to join my eldest son and his family. 1) Do I have a risk when I want to enter the US? 2) Do I need to reapply for everything including I-130 to establish relationship or can I pick up where I left off somehow? I really appreciate your professional advice and assistance on this matter. A million thanks in advance! 🙏

[@KseniyaInternational]

Hi, you would have to start from the beginning. Your son may be able to submit I130 and you can try to go through the process via consular processing. Another avenue is to do it the same way you did it the first time, however you entered the US.

[@martinejanssens1887]

@@KseniyaInternational I’m grateful for your prompt response! I thought so. But a huge thanks for the confirmation. Very helpful.

[@martinejanssens1887]

@@KseniyaInternational my son also applied for his spouse and baby who were born in Singapore. He thinks he shouldn’t apply for me until the I-485 of his wife and baby have been approved. It’s been 18 months he’s waiting for any outcome as everything is delayed due to the pandemic. Do you also think that he shouldn’t apply for me while he’s still waiting? Might it affect his wife and son’s outcome if he applies for me in addition to them?

El proposito de pedir este permiso de viaje es nada más por si hubiera una emergencia en mi familia en Guatemala, es la unica razón por la que viajaria mientras está en trámite mi residencia. En la parte 7 y pregunta 1 marco la casilla: one trip or more than one trip? La otra pregunta es: al poner una fecha (que ni siquiera es segura porque yo no saldria a menos que fuera por una emergencia) puedo usar el permiso de viaje en otra fecha? Por ejemplo si simplemente quisiera ir a visitar familia?

[@KseniyaInternational]

Sí, puedes indicar “por muchas viajes” y para la fecha : aproximadamente cuando quieres ir, en realidad esta fecha no hay nada importancia porque sólo podrás viajar cuando ellos te dieren el permiso.

[@PleasureBaby78]

Hello there. I seem to have a problem. My husband wants me and him to travel to the Bahamas for our honeymoon vacation for three days and two nights and come back to the US. His green card is still pending and he has advanced parole & TPS. Does he need a visa for the Bahamas to travel or does he still need a green card? He came to the United States illegally. Is that a problem for him?

Привет Ксеня, I'm a permanent resident with an valid green card. I have lived in the US for 30 years. Recently my Ukrainian passport expired and it's such a hassle getting a new one considering what is going. I want to take a cruise and travel some outside the US. Can form i-131 be used as a passport document along with my permanent resident card to do traveling? Thank you for all this information.

[@gloriamaldonado7161]

Disculpa te puedo hacer otra pregunta? Yo estoy por enviar mi paquete (concurrent filing) que incluye el i- 485, la i-130, i-864, i-765 y tambien voy a enviar la i-131. Veo en las instrucciones que como evidencia piden copia del receipt del pago de la i-485, pero yo no lo voy a tener porque como te digo estoy enviando todo junto y para pagar el ajuste de status estoy enviando el form G-1450 para autorizacion de pago con tarjeta de crédito.

[@KseniyaInternational]

Si es normal no tener el receipt porque estas enviando todo juntos. Esta regla solamente aplica cuando envies 485 o 130 primeramente y quieres seguirlo con otros formularios.

[@KseniyaInternational]

Además, tienes que incluir dos g1450 (uno para 130 y el otro para 485). Yo tengo videos sobre estos temas

[@gloriamaldonado7161]

Hey there! Thank you for the information. My i485 is pending I plan to use my advance parole next month to visit my family, my grandma will go under a serious surgery and I want to be there. Problem is my spouse (us citizen) will fly with me but leave home sooner because of military duty so I will be flaying back into US by myself. Is that safe? Thanks I’m advance!

Hey, if you have your approved travel document and you’re leaving for less than 6 months you should have no issue. They may ask questions when you arrive about the purpose of your travel which is normal. Sorry about your grandma ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you well

I don’t believe so. I only had one biometrics appointment for everything

[@samanthariley2944]

I have one question. Everything I see about advance parole usually says it’s valid for 1 year. My husband (DACA) just got his advance parole I-512 and it says it’s valid for one exit and one entry between 1/6/23 and 2/15/23. His immigration attorney says we are waiting on another EAD card to come stating he can travel as I-512…. But everything I’m seeing online seems like they aren’t issuing those anymore? Is the I-512 document the only thing we need in order to travel? We have that and his passport and his regular DACA card that obviously says “not for re entry” so we are just confused… but running out of time while supposedly waiting on another card?

[@KseniyaInternational]

DACA advance paroles are usually not valid for 1 year, I feel like they make them as short as possible to make it difficult for you to re-enter. 🙁 I saw somebody get advance parole on DACA for 1 day (!!!)

[@samanthariley2944]

@@KseniyaInternational so in that case… we aren’t waiting on a different EAD to travel, correct? The AP document I-512 is the only actual document they’d issue us to travel?

Permanent residents can travel outside USA for a period of less than 1 year without needing a re-entry permit. Travels over 6 months do, however, interrupt residency requirement for naturalization.

Hi: My wife and son are from Ukraine. They have I-94s via Military PIP. I am a US veteran. We need to go back to Ukraine to see her father who is sick with a hemoglobin disease and may not live much longer and to renew our son's passport (it expires in August and the embassy says it will take up to a year if we mail it in). She needs her medical/immunization records and we need to clear out her house and put her house up for sale. We need her medical records and his passport renewed to apply for their green cards- so we haven't yet applied for green cards. My question is: Do you know if we can we apply for documents to travel back to Ukraine to do these things? If so, we can't understand which travel document we should apply for?

[@sirak-zizu]

[@msyusuf9841]

As you know my friend I told you in your other video now I’m a green card holder, and I’m planing to go back home I don’t know why but my lawyer told me that I can’t apply for the re entery permanent . I really don’t understand why

[@KseniyaInternational]

Because green card holders can travel freely outside of the US for short periods of time. Re-entry permit is only for people who are planning to be absent for more than 1 year and less than 2 years.

My husband's adjustment of status was just approved yesterday. He will be getting his green card in the mail. We want to travel as soon as possible for him to see his mom and his son who he hasn't seen in 6 years. If our trip is 1 or 2 weeks long, we don't need to fill this form out? Also, do you know how soon he can travel abroad after he receives his green card? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@KseniyaInternational]

Having a green card allows you to travel freely. Make sure you have a current unexpired passport for your/his home country to be admitted there. But you don’t need anything else to return to the US. You can travel whenever

Con advance parole puedas viajar pero, según uscis ellos en cualquier momento puedan cancelarlo o no te permitan en US. Usualmente viajes de menos de 180 días no tienen problemas. La otra cosa para considerar es si hay posibilidad de recibir la noticia para la entrevista mientras estas en mexico.
