If you requested advance parole at the same time that you asked for employment authorization from U.S.C.I.S., you would be allowed to travel on the EAD card as it would contain authorizations for both employment authorization and advance parole. If you only requested employment authorization, the card would only give you authorization for work and not travel permission. In that case, you would not be allowed to travel under the EAD card.

Hello Joanna. If you are a US citizen, and you marry your boyfriend, and he entered the United States with a visa, then you can sponsor him for his green card, and he can process his case without going back to his country. This is true despite that he is out of status now. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee rate to handle the case from start to finish. 

A US citizen can sponsor his father for a green card as long as the father entered the United States with permission. This is despite the fact that the father is out of status. You file the I 130 together with the I 485 and the I 765 and you can get a work permit for Dad pending the adjustment of status interview. However, here in Florida the i 765 is taking about 9 to 12 months to process. Often times, the green card is issued before the I 765. So it would make more sense just to file the 485 now with the 765.
