My mothers finger prints were done end of July. She has gone through the interview process in October but case is still pending a decision (hiccups with birth certificate). But she needs to travel asap. Applied for AP 3 weeks ago, and received a letter asking to confirm all the details last week. Will they require finger printing again for AP?

What if my mom travels now and I send the the AP in mail????

Anyone with a pending adjustment may not leave the country without advance parole. To do so means that the adjustment application is deemed abandonded and MUST be denied. If there are current fingerprints, no new fingerprints will be required UNLESS the fingerprints turn out to be unclassifiable. She must wait for advance parole or else the case will have to be converted to consular processing, if eligible.

If she has any unlawful presence in the U.S. and leaves the country before getting LPR status, she may trigger a 3 or 10 year bar to re-entry even if mistakenly approved for advance parole (they try to deny it when there is a problem but are not bound by any mistakes). Wait for a decision on AP and even then make sure that she does not have 180 days of unlawful presence in the U.S.

Anyone with a pending adjustment may not leave the country without advance parole. To do so means that the adjustment application is deemed abandonded and MUST be denied. Unless they have a valid H1B/H4/L1/L2.

Yes, that is right about H and L dual intent. I didnt mention it because the parent of a USC is unlikely to be one of those. I didnt want to confuse the poster with too much info.

My bad.
