Is a person with an approved i-130 able to apply for an i-131 advance parole document?

Unfortunately the law does not allow those who have an approved I-130 to obtain advance parole to travel in and out of the country. Possibly your best situation is to take advantage of the Administration’s I- 601A program when your spouse becomes a U. S. citizen. At that point, you could apply for a waiver of the 10 year bar and receive the result prior to making a decision to step outside the country for an immigrant visa interview at the consulate.
