Is it safe to travel while in the process of getting my citizenship? 7 Answers as of August 05, 2011

You should carry a copy of BIA decision with you.

I recommend you get a second opinion from another immigration attorney. Highly recommend you put off traveling until you naturalize. Then, once you have naturalized, highly recommend that you provide the Port(s) of Entry you will be using with a copy of the BIA decision sustaining your case, a copy of the green card you then renewed or were given back, and a black and white copy of your Natz certificate, in advance, and also travel with said items. If you ignore my advice and don't Natz first, then there is no 100% guarantee that the above advice will necessarily work anyway.

Not enough information. The basis for the deportation can be the basis for inadmissibility. You should consult with an experienced immigration attorney.

It's hard to know for sure without more details. Generally speaking it is best not to travel until there is absolute finality to your case. If there are lingering questions or if the case was remanded to the Immigration Judge then you could be in for a rude awakening when you attempt to re-enter the United States. For example, if removal proceedings are still active and you leave the US, you will effectively self-deport yourself. You really should consult an immigration lawyer who can evaluate the facts of your case.

You are free to travel if deportation proceedings against you were terminated and you retained for permanent resident status. Make sure that you do not leave for more than 6 months and have someone notify you about any notices related to the naturalization application.

Don't travel until your citizenship application is completely adjudicated.

If you have your passport stamped and I would also bring your court hearing notice stating that judge re-instated your lawful permanent residence status.
