Re: Adjustment of status

You are not adjusting status. You are just removing a condition. Until your condition is removed or denied you are in a lawful permanent resident status. This means you may travel freely at any time. However, after you submit your I-751 you may be called for an interview, or may be requested to submit more documentation, etc. Therefore, it is recommended not to leave the country while your I-751 is pending.
