Legal Question in Immigration Law in Missouri

H-1B visa holders don't need advance parole to travel. Besides, you are not eligible to apply for one with only the I-130 pending.

There is no "green card application" pending yet.

The issue is whether you are still maintaining a valid H-1B status.

It's always advisable to consult an immigration lawyer when in doubt.

Having an H-1B allows you to have what's called, "Dual Intent." Normally, with most temporary visas, you must only have the intent to stay temporarily. But, with the H-1B, you are allowed to have the intent to stay here permanently at the same you are allowed to have a temporary intent.

Since you married a USC, you may have been eligible to concurrently file the I-485. But there are other issues involved, that I would certainly speak with an attorney about to understand whether or not you need Advanced Parole when an I-485 is pending.
