U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a reminder to individuals that have a pending application for adjustment of status, application for relief under NACARA, application for asylum, application for legalization, or that have been granted Temporary Protected Status, that they must obtain Advance Parole – permission to reenter the United States after traveling abroad – from USCIS before traveling abroad.  Attempts to reenter the United States without prior authorization may have severe consequences, since individuals requiring advance parole may be unable to return to the United States and their pending applications may be denied or administratively closed.  Current processing times for Applications for Travel Documents are approximately 90 days.
