Advance Parole - Permission to travel

At this point, advance parole may be a little bit harder to get, because processing time is three months or more, which would put approvals and subsequent travel in February 2017.

I have DACA and was planning to take a trip outside the States. Should I still go?

If you have DACA and want to continue to living in the U.S., you should never travel abroad unless you have applied for and received advance parole from USCIS. Advance parole is permission from USCIS to return to the U.S. after traveling abroad.

If you are traveling a trip abroad- and if you receive advance parole- be sure to return to the U.S. before January 20, 2017.
