The firm\u2019s Austin immigration lawyer can help explain how the ruling may affect certain advance parole travel and unlawful-presence issues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">24 August, 2026 &#8211; Austin, TX &#8211; Lincoln-Goldfinch Law Abogados de Inmigraci\u00f3n has shared new information for immigrants following a recent Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision involving travel on advance parole. The firm\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lincolngoldfinch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Austin immigration lawyer<\/a> aims to help individuals and families understand the development before making international travel decisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On August 13, 2026, the Board of Immigration Appeals issued a precedent decision in Matter of Delcarmen-Lara, ruling that travel on advance parole counts as a departure that can trigger the three- or ten-year unlawful-presence bar. The decision overruled Matter of Arrabally and Yerrabelly, which had previously held that temporary travel on advance parole did not constitute a \u201cdeparture\u201d under that provision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ruling could affect some individuals who accumulated unlawful presence before traveling outside the United States with advance parole. Because the consequences depend on a person\u2019s immigration history and other circumstances, Lincoln-Goldfinch Law \u2013 Abogados de Inmigraci\u00f3n has shared additional guidance on their Facebook page explaining the development and considerations for travelers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learn more here: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1cSFi33mDw\/?mibextid=WC7FNe\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1cSFi33mDw\/?mibextid=WC7FNe<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAdvance parole can involve serious immigration consequences depending on a person\u2019s history, so anyone considering international travel should understand how this new decision could apply to their circumstances before leaving the United States,\u201d said Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The development may be especially relevant to individuals who have advance parole or are considering applying for permission to travel while an immigration matter is pending. An Austin immigration attorney can examine a person\u2019s immigration record and explain how the current ruling may affect a planned departure and return.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lincoln-Goldfinch Law \u2013 Abogados de Inmigraci\u00f3n encourages individuals with questions about advance parole to seek guidance based on their own circumstances rather than assume that another traveler\u2019s experience will produce the same result.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">About Lincoln-Goldfinch Law \u2013 Abogados de Inmigraci\u00f3n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lincoln-Goldfinch Law \u2013 Abogados de Inmigraci\u00f3n is an immigration law firm in Austin, TX.
