Do I only apply for Advanced Parole if I have impending travel? I'm confused because I don't have any travel in mind but I thought I needed to apply for it just in case something came up before receiving my permanent residence paperwork. The forms all ask about travel dates though, what do I do?

File the I-131, Advance Parole Document, If you are filing concurrently with I-485, its free and very easy to fill out, no need to put a known date to travel, just state "in case of emergency" and "more than one trip". There's nothing to loose if you have this travel document.....

No explanation or reason is needed when filing the I-131 with a pending I-485 as an adjustment applicant.

An adjustment applicant does not fill out Part 4 stating a reason and purpose of their travels, and you do not need to supply the extra statement.

Leave date and length blank, then hand-write Unknown for those after printing out the form.
