Travel and Return Safely
Parole is a word that sounds complicated, but the idea is simple. It is special permission from the U.S. government that allows someone to travel, return, or enter the country legally, usually for an important or urgent reason. Without it, leaving the U.S. can put your entire immigration process at risk. With it, you can travel with confidence and return safely.
Leaving the U.S. without the right authorization can close doors that took years to open. With the right authorization the way back remains open for your safe return. We help you make sure every trip is protected.
Types of Parole We Help With
Advance Parole
For DACA holders or green card applicants who need to travel and return safely without losing their place in the process.
TPS Travel Authorization
Allows TPS holders to travel abroad for emergencies or family visits and return without risking their protection. If you have TPS, you may need to renew your status separately from requesting travel authorization. These are two different things. One keeps your protection active while you are here. The other protects you when you leave. We help you understand which one you need and make sure both are in order before you travel.
Military Parole in Place
Helps spouses, parents, or children of U.S. service members maintain stability and legal presence while their loved one serves.
Humanitarian Parole
For urgent situations such as medical emergencies, family crises, or compassionate circumstances requiring immediate entry.
Refugee Travel Document
For refugees and asylees who need to travel internationally but cannot use a passport from their home country. This document allows you to travel and return safely.

You may be wondering →
Does renewing my TPS mean I can travel freely outside the U.S.?
"My spouse or parent serves in the U.S. military, and I am living here without legal status. I want to stay close to my family without the fear of being separated."

Is there a program that protects military families from being separated?
"There is an emergency and someone I love urgently needs to come to the United States. They do not have a visa, and I do not know if there is any way to make it happen quickly."
You may be wondering →
Is there a way to bring someone to the U.S. urgently for a humanitarian reason?
Humanitarian parole exists for exactly these situations. It allows someone to enter the U.S. temporarily when there is an urgent medical, safety, or compassionate need that cannot wait. These requests require strong, well-documented evidence and need to be prepared carefully. We help you build the strongest possible case and submit it as quickly as your situation requires.
"I am in the middle of applying for my green card and I need to travel internationally before my case is finished. I am afraid of what might happen if I leave."
You may be wondering →
Can I travel while my green card application is still pending?
Leaving the U.S. while your green card application is pending without advance parole can be treated as abandoning your case entirely. Advance parole is the authorization that protects your application while you are away. We help you apply for it before any trip and make sure you understand what is required so your case stays on track no matter what life brings.
"I was granted asylum or refugee status and I want to travel internationally, but I cannot use my home country's passport. I do not know how I am supposed to travel."
You may be wondering →
How can I travel internationally if I cannot use my home country's passport?
Refugees and asylees can apply for a Refugee Travel Document, which serves as a travel document in place of a passport. It allows you to travel to other countries and return to the United States. However, there are important restrictions, including countries you should avoid traveling to, particularly your country of origin. We walk you through how to apply, what to expect, and how to plan your travel safely so your asylum or refugee status is fully protected.
