Can You Travel with an I-360 Approval? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Navigating the complexities of immigration law can be daunting, especially when understanding travel restrictions with an I-360 approval. In Episode 12 of the VivaVisa Podcast by Adhami Law Group, Kousha Adhami answers critical listener questions and sheds light on this crucial topic.
Understanding the I-360 Approval: What It Means for Your Immigration Status
An I-360 approval is a significant step in your immigration journey. However, it does not grant you immigration status or a green card. While it authorizes you to work in the U.S. and travel domestically, it does not permit international travel without additional permissions. Understanding the limitations and requirements is essential to avoid jeopardizing your immigration status.
Travel Restrictions and Precautions
With an I-360 approval, you can travel within the United States freely. However, international travel is off-limits unless you have other necessary permissions. Traveling outside the U.S. without these permissions can lead to severe consequences. This includes the potential abandonment of your I-360 status. Kousha emphasizes the importance of adhering to these restrictions to maintain your eligibility for a green card.
Returning to Your Home Country with SIJS Status
SIJS applicants who received their green cards can return to their home countries. Unlike asylum seekers who cannot return due to fear of persecution, SIJS applicants face no such restrictions. However, it is crucial to follow green card regulations. This includes not staying abroad for more than six months to avoid jeopardizing your status.
Addressing Removal Orders for Parents
The podcast also addresses complex scenarios where parents have removal orders while their children qualify for SIJS. The decision to stay or return to the home country often depends on various factors, including the child’s age, the presence of other relatives, and the parents’ circumstances. Each case is unique and requires careful consideration.
Benefits of I-360 Approval
Kousha recaps the benefits of having an I-360 approval, including eligibility to apply for a green card, work authorization, and relief from removal proceedings. These benefits are crucial for SIJS applicants as they navigate permanent residency.
Conclusion
Applicants must understand the implications of I-360 approval and the associated travel restrictions. Stay informed and consult with your attorney to ensure compliance with immigration laws and regulations.
