Question: I applied to Adjust Status to Permanent Residence with USC Husband as sponsor and I want to Travel while the application is pending, and I have been told not to travel because my visa was out of status when I applied to adjust. Can I travel ?
Answer: You should not travel if your Visa was out of status when you applied to adjust, because you will have to face an automatic 3* years bar when reentering the USA if you were out of status and do not have any current status when leaving the U.S.
* 3 years bar is assuming person is out of status for 12 months.
