Sec. 245a.35  Travel outside the United States.



    (a) An alien who departs the United States while his or her 

application for Family Unity benefits is pending will be deemed to have 

abandoned the application and the application will be denied.

    (b) An alien granted Family Unity benefits under the LIFE Act 

Amendments who intends to travel outside the United States temporarily 

must apply for advance authorization using Form I-131. The authority to 

grant an application for advance authorization for an alien granted 

Family Unity benefits under the LIFE Act Amendments rests solely with 

the Service. An alien who is granted advance authorization and returns 

to the United States in accordance with such authorization, and who is 

found not to be inadmissible under section 212(a)(2) or (3) of the Act, 

shall be paroled into the United States. He or she shall be provided the 

remainder of the protection from removal period previously granted under 

the Family Unity provisions of the LIFE Act Amendments.
