Traveling inside the USA with a ead card?

Traveling inside the USA with a ead card? - From below of illuminated interior of Grand Central Terminal station with high decorated ceiling and big windows with pillars in New York USA

I live in Tx, but plan to visit my father in NM. I have a EAD card with advance parole. Can I get through checkpoints without a problem?



Best Answer

Neither an EAD nor Advance Parole are relevant to your ability to stay in the US. EAD is for employment authorization and Advance Parole is for entering the US. Because you have a pending I-485 (Adjustment of Status) application, you can stay in the US regardless of whether you have status or not. Make sure to bring your I-485 receipt with you in case you run into a CBP checkpoint.
