advance parole

At Dreamers2gether, we understand the importance of reuniting with family, seeking medical treatment, or traveling abroad for other essential reasons, especially for individuals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). If you are a TPS or DACA recipient, obtaining Advance Parole can be a crucial step for international travel while maintaining your immigration status. Our experienced team is here to guide you through the application process and ensure that you have the best chance of success.

What is Advance Parole?

Advance Parole is a permission granted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that allows individuals to travel outside the United States and return without losing their current immigration status. It is particularly important for people in TPS or DACA status, as unauthorized departures from the U.S. can result in penalties, including bars to re-entry. For TPS and DACA recipients, Advance Parole serves as a travel document that enables them to leave the U.S. temporarily for reasons such as:

​

  • Reuniting with family members

  • Attending business or educational events

  • Seeking medical treatment abroad

  • Visiting an ill relative

Advance Parole Application Assistance

Applying for Advance Parole can be a complicated and time-sensitive process. Our team provides thorough assistance with:

​

  • Completing Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document)

  • Gathering and organizing necessary supporting documentation, including proof of TPS/DACA status, passport-style photos, and evidence of the reason for travel (e.g., work, family, humanitarian reasons)

  • Ensuring your application meets all USCIS requirements to avoid delays or denials

​

We will guide you through each step of the application process to maximize your chances of success and ensure timely processing.

Request for Evidence Assistance for Advance Parole

In some cases, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) if they need additional information to make a decision on your Advance Parole application. If you receive an RFE, Dreamers2Gether can help you:

​

  • Review the RFE: We’ll help you understand what additional documentation or information is required.

  • Prepare a Response: We assist in gathering and submitting the appropriate documentation to respond to the RFE promptly.

  • Ensure Compliance: We ensure that your response is compliant with USCIS requirements and avoid delays in processing.

​

An RFE doesn’t mean your application is denied, but it’s crucial to respond properly and quickly. Let us handle the details to keep your application on track.
