Our Simple Approach To Immigration Process
- I Have an Advance Parole, Do I Need a National Interest Exception?
Example
You filed an Adjustment of Status petition based on marriage to a U.S. citizen last year. You just received your Advance Parole card and you would like to travel outside the U.S. using the Advance Parole. The question then arises: if you visit any of the countries (e.g. a Schengen area country) that is currently on a list of restricted countries, do you need to apply for a National Interest Exception?
