...NOTE:  If you are in the United States and wish to travel abroad, you do not need to apply for advance parole if both  conditions described below in numbers 1 and 2 are met:An H-1, temporary worker, or H-4, spouse or child of an H-1; or An L-1, intracompany transferee, or L-2, spouse or child of an L-1; or 2.  A K-3, spouse, or K-4, child, of a U.S. citizen; or However, upon returning to the United States, you must present your valid H, L, K or V nonimmigrant visa and continue to remain eligible for that status.
INSTRUCTIONS
You must be physically present in the United States when you file the application.  However, a reentry permit may be sent to a U.S. embassy or consulate or Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office abroad for you to pick up, if you request it when you file your application.
With the exception of having to obtain a returning resident visa abroad, a reentry permit does not reliev
e you of any of the requirements of the United States immigration laws.
If you stay outside the United States for less than one year, you are not required to apply for a reentry permit. You may reenter the United States on your Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551).
If you intend to apply in the future for naturalization, absences from the United States for one year or more will generally break the continuity of your required continuous residence in the United States.  If you intended to remain outside the United States for one year or more, you should file a Form N-470, Application to Preserve Residence for Naturalization Purposes.  For further information, contact your local CIS office.Validity of reentry permit.
Generally, a reentry permit issued to a permanent resident shall be valid for two years from the date of issuance.  However, if since becoming a permanent resident you have been outside the United States for more than four of the last five years, the permit will be limited to one year, except that a permit with a validity of two years may be issued to the following:
1.B.Departure from the United States before a decision is made on an application for a reentry permit does not affect the application.A V-2, spouse, or V-3, child, of a lawful permanent resident; and Reentry Permit  - A reentry permit allows a permanent resident or conditional resident to apply for admi
ssion to the United States upon return from abroad during the permit's validity, without having to obtain a returning resident visa from a U.S. embassy or consulate.
Refugee Travel Document - A refugee travel
document is issued to a person classified as a refugee or asylee, or to a permanent resident who obtained such status as a result of being a refugee or asylee in the United States.  Persons who hold such status must have a refugee travel document to return to the United States after temporary travel abroad unless he or she is in possession of a valid advance parole document.  A refugee travel document is issued by the CIS to implement Article 28 of the United Nations Convention of July 28, 1951.
Advance Parole Document - An advance parole
document is issued solely to authorize the temporary parole of a person into the United States.  The document may be accepted by a transportation company in lieu of a visa as an authorization for the holder to travel to the United States.  An advance parole document is not issued to serve in place of any required passport.

valid from是什么意思or conditional permanent resident, you may apply for a reentry permit.
Reentry Permit.
A.I.Advance parole is an extraordinary measure used sparingly to bring an otherwise inadmissible alien to the United States for a temporary period of time due to a compelling
emergency.  Advance parole cannot be used to circumvent the normal visa issuing procedures and is not a means to bypass delays in visa issuance.
This form is used to apply to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS), comprised of offices of the former  Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), for the following travel documents:
a.  A permanent resident employed by a public international organization of which the United States is a member by treaty or statute.
If you have been unlawfully present in the United States for
more than 180 days but less than one year and you leave before removal proceedings are started against you, you may be inadmissible for three years from the date of departure.
.If you have been unlawfully  present in the United States for one year or more, you may be inadmissible for ten years from the date of departure regardless of whether you left before, during or after removal proceedings.
Unlawful presence is defined as being in the United States without having been inspected and admitted or paroled (illegal entry), or after the period of authorized stay has expired.
.
.
Therefore, if you apply for adjustment of status after you return to the United States, resume an adjustment
application that was pending before you left, or return to a status that requires you to establish that you are not inadmissible, you will need to apply for and receive a waiver of inadmissibility before your adjustment application may be approved or your status continued.If you are in the United States  in valid refugee or asylee status, or if you are a permanent resident as a direct result of your refugee or asylee status in the United States, you may apply for a refugee travel document.  Generally, you must have a refugee travel document to return to the United States after temporary travel abroad.Refugee Travel Document.

Travel Warning
Although advance parole may allow you to return to the United States, your departure may trigger the three- or
ten-year bar, if you accrued more than 180 days of
unlawful presence BEFORE  the date you were considered to be in a period of  authorized stay.
However, certain immigration benefits and time spent in the United States while certain applications are pending may place you in a period of authorized stay.  These
include, but are not limited to, a properly filed adjustment of status application, temporary protected status (TPS), deferred enforced departure (DED), asylum and withholding of removal.
Generally, only those persons who can establish
extreme hardship to their United States citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent may apply for the waiver for humanitarian reasons, to assure family unity or when it is otherwise in the public interest.  (See
sections 209(c), 212(a)(9) and 244(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act for more information on unlawful presence and the available waivers.)

as prescribed.
