What is a primary purpose of advance parole?

To allow a noncitizen to remain indefinitely in the U.S.
To enable re-entry after a temporary trip abroad.
To establish permanent residency immediately.
To waive all immigration-related grounds of inadmissibility.

The correct answer is: To enable re-entry after a temporary trip abroad.

The primary purpose of advance parole is to enable re-entry after a temporary trip abroad. Advance parole is a process that allows individuals, typically noncitizens who are in certain immigration statuses, to leave the United States temporarily and return without losing their status. It serves as a form of legal permission that can be crucial for individuals who may not have a valid visa or who are waiting on immigration proceedings. This option highlights the importance of ensuring that individuals can travel outside the U.S. and return without jeopardizing their immigration status, which is critical for maintaining continuity in their legal presence. The other options either misrepresent the function of advance parole or refer to processes that are unrelated to its purpose, such as establishing permanent residency or waiving grounds of inadmissibility.
