In addition to the information supplied in previous responses, including confirmation that a foreign national with a pending Form I-485 application for adjustment of status will be ineligible for a B1/B2 visitor's visa, note that when one files a properly prepared and documented Form I-485 with a Form I-131 application for Advance Parole (a travel document), the USCIS can be expected to issue the travel document within 60-90 days. That document will authorize travel and re-entry throughout the period that the I-485 is pending. Coordinating travel with issuance of a travel document, with the required biometrics appointment and with the eventual in-person USCIS adjustment of status interview, may be important, depending upon the exact dates of anticipated travel. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney for the entire process, not only to assure that the case is handled properly from the beginning, but also to address any scheduling complications that might arise while the case is pending.
