Life gets busy. Paperwork falls to the bottom of the list. We get it.

But these three expiration dates are worth tracking because missing the appropriate renewal or filing window can interfere with travel, proof of status, or immigration plans:

1️⃣ Your Green Card
A standard 10-year Green Card may generally be renewed through Form I-90 when it expires within six months. Two-year conditional Green Cards follow different filing rules and deadlines.

2️⃣ Your Passport
Some destinations require your passport to remain valid for six months beyond your entry date or travel period. Always check your destination’s current requirements before traveling.

3️⃣ Your Advance Parole or Reentry Permit
If you have a pending Form I-485, departing without required advance parole can generally result in abandonment of the application, subject to limited exceptions. Reentry permits serve a different purpose and may be important for permanent residents planning extended travel abroad.

Set a reminder today. Future you will thank you.

Summer travel season is here, and if you hold a U.S. immigration status or have a pending application, it is worth reviewing your situation before making travel plans.

A few important questions to ask before booking international travel:

🔹 Do you have a pending Form I-485? You may need an approved Advance Parole document before leaving the U.S.

🔹 If you hold a nonimmigrant status, an approval notice alone is generally not sufficient to re-enter the U.S. — you typically also need a valid visa stamp in your passport.

🔹 Are you traveling on a single-entry or multiple-entry visa? This affects whether you can re-enter after departure.

🔹 Do you have valid proof of permanent resident status, such as a current green card, reentry permit, or applicable extension notice?

At Ashoori Law, we help individuals, families, and employees review their immigration status before international travel to help reduce avoidable risk.

A common misconception among visitors and even some U.S. employers with remote international staff:

The Myth: If I am visiting the U.S. on a B-2 visitor visa, I can continue working remotely for my U.S. employer or pick up freelance work during my stay.

The Fact: The B-2 visa is intended for tourism, visiting family, or certain medical treatment. It does not authorize employment or work in the United States, including remote work for a U.S. employer performed while physically present in the U.S.

This is a frequently misunderstood area, especially as remote work has become more common. Engaging in unauthorized employment while in B-2 status can lead to serious immigration consequences, including denial of future visa applications or removal proceedings.

If you are planning to work in any capacity while in the United States, including remotely for a U.S. employer, it is important to understand the immigration rules that apply before you travel. The rules around remote work for foreign employers on B-2 status are not fully settled and may depend on the specific facts and how the work is structured.

Here's the latest on the H-1B $100,000 fee saga because the timeline keeps moving.

🔹 June 8, 2026: A federal court in Massachusetts ruled the fee unlawful, finding it was a tax the President did not have authority to impose and that the way it was rolled out violated federal rulemaking law.

🔹 June 11, 2026: The administration filed an appeal to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

🔹 June 12, 2026: The court agreed to pause its own ruling while that appeal plays out. For now, the legal status of the fee remains unsettled, and the fee may still affect certain new H-1B petitions involving consular processing.

Here's what makes this more complicated: a different federal court in Washington, D.C. reached the opposite conclusion in a separate lawsuit, upholding the fee. That case is also on appeal. With other lawsuits still pending, there is a real chance this issue ends up before the Supreme Court before it is fully settled.

Bottom line: if you are an employer or employee affected by this fee, nothing is final yet. We are watching this closely and will keep you updated as it develops.

A common misconception about E-2 status and long-term immigration planning.

The Myth: Holding E-2 status means you can never pursue a green card.

The Fact: E-2 is a nonimmigrant classification; it does not provide a direct green card pathway by itself. However, E-2 holders are not automatically barred from pursuing other immigration options. Depending on individual circumstances, they may be able to explore employment-based, family-based, investment-based, or other permanent residence categories, subject to separate eligibility requirements.

Important consideration: E-2 is not a full dual-intent classification like H-1B or L-1. Immigrant-intent issues may arise when renewing an E-2 visa, re-entering in E-2 status, or pursuing a green card strategy. Individual facts matter significantly.

Every immigration case is unique. Options depend on the specific facts, timing, status history, family relationships, investment structure, and eligibility for a separate immigrant category.

‼️ Disclaimer: Attorney Advertising. This post is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. The E-2 visa is a nonimmigrant classification, and green card planning may affect renewal, travel, or status strategy. Eligibility for alternative immigration pathways depends entirely on individual circumstances. Ashoori Law is a private immigration law firm and is not affiliated with USCIS or any government agency.

If you have a pending Form I-485, Application to Adjust Status, and are considering international travel, this is one of the most important rules to understand—and one of the most costly to get wrong.

In many cases, departing the United States while a Form I-485 is pending without a valid Advance Parole may result in USCIS treating the adjustment application as abandoned, unless an applicable exception applies. Depending on the circumstances, abandonment may result in the denial of the I-485.

Before any international travel while your I-485 is pending, verify whether you need Advance Parole, whether it has been approved and remains valid, and whether any applicable exception may apply to your situation.
