After the EB-5 I-526 becomes approved and the priority date becomes current, as the principal applicant, I would like to file I-485 with my children together in the US. What happens to the I-485 application of my kids if I leave the US without advance parole? Would they be withdrawn, too, like my application?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyAs I-485 is an individual application for each person, their applications will not be automatically withdrawn/cancelled. However, as they are your derivatives, if you abandon your permanent residency process, then their applications and status will be in jeopardy as well.
