Allows aliens to travel back to the United States without applying for a visa. An airline or other transportation company can accept an advance parole document instead of a visa as proof that the alien is authorized to travel to the United States. An advance parole document does not replace a passport. In most cases, the alien must have your advance parole document before you depart the United States.
