I'm very risk averse in this case. let's think about the worst case scenario-- if the 1-485 is rejected by the mailroom for any reason whatsoever (and sometimes it happens for no reason at all), or gets lost in transit (or the mailroom), misrouted to albuquerque, torn to pieces by their scanner, whatever, and karyna leaves, she will not be able to return. i will not send her out unless i have the i-485 receipt. and, for the advance parole, there must be an underlying 1-485. read the I-131 instructions attached-- as it clearly states, if the I-485 is not pending anymore, the parole document is useless... now, i've never had an I-485 rejected. but, it is conceivable, albeit a very small chance, that it may be due to clerical/ mailroom errors. therefore, i won't risk it. a.
