How can an EB-5 applicant travel on advance parole?

There is a possibility that your I-526 might be denied while you are outside of the U.S., which may also lead to the denial of your I-485. When this happens, your EAD and AP may lose its validity.

You may travel abroad only with an approved travel document. That document is obtained by filing Form I-131 with USCIS. I understand that you are currently residing in the U.S. I assume you have filed to adjust status on the pending I-526. If you filed Form I-131 concurrently with your I-485, adjustment of status application, the EAD card you received may state at the bottom that the card is good for travel. If that is not on your EAD card, you cannot use the card for travel. You will need to wait for a paper notice of I-131 approval. You can travel with the I-131 approval paper notice. I am unfamiliar with your abbreviation “AP”. Do you mean your I-526 has been approved? An approved I-526 does not provide you with travel authorization.

Yes. You can travel. The RIA of 2022 allowed EB-5 investors to simultaneously file their I-526 petition (EB-5 application) together with the I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, I-765 Employment Authorization Document, and I-131 Application for Travel Documents. Once your AP is approved, you can reenter the U.S. based on being an adjustment of status applicant.

Yes.

Assuming you have timely filed your I-485 with the underlying EB-5 investor petition and have no issues with your past immigration history, you may travel with a valid advance parole document and foreign passport.

Yes, you may safely travel and return with your advance parole (travel document) while the I-485 is pending during the dates indicated on the AP. The only exception to this is if you have an active criminal matter in the U.S. or a previous serious criminal conviction that was not disclosed in your documents.
