Hi there,
I am currently in the US under H1b status, I will be filing for I-485 pretty soon. (My spouse is a permanent resident and will be sponsoring me, we have filed i-130 already and it is pending).
I plan to travel outside the US for family reasons in October. Ideally, I want to obtain the H1B visa in the foreign country and use that visa in order to get back to the US. (I have been in H1b status since a few years ago and never left the country since then).
Should I also apply for form I-131 Advance Parole? I feel like having an AP will be a back up option/safety measure just in case my H1b visa application doesn't go well or anything like that. Obviously I might have to escalate the Advance Parole (emergency AP). Please let me know if my idea is wrong, thanks a lot!
