Travel Outside the U.S. After Applying for a Green Card

Once you have made an application for U.S. Permanent Residency (commonly known as a "Green Card"), international travel is only allowed with official permission. The processing period for a Green Card typically lasts between six months and two years. If you wish to travel outside the U.S. during this processing period, you must apply for and receive a travel permission, typically called Advance Parole. Without an approved Advance Parole status, you may be denied re-entry into the U.S., and your application for a Green Card could be considered abandoned. Therefore, it is important to get your Advance Parole status in place before any possible international travel.
