I have an approved Advance Parole document (I-512L) based on a pending I-485 application, valid until 2029. I came to my home country about 4 months ago and plan to stay here for a couple more months. I would like to know if an extended stay in my home country could cause any issues or if there is a specific time limit or maximum duration after which I must return to the United States.

consider:
Validity: Return before your Advance Parole expires. Yours is valid until 2029.
Extended Stay: No specific time limit, but long stays may raise questions about your intent to reside in the U.S., potentially affecting your application.
Reentry: You will be inspected by CBP upon return. Be prepared to explain your extended stay and intent to maintain U.S. residence.
Continuous Residence: Ensure your stay abroad does not affect any continuous residence requirements for your application.
