One urgent question, please help. china1232007-12-05 12:55:09

F-1 with I485 pending, no AP yet. Plan to go to Canada for a conference for 6 days and return with current I-20 and I-94.Our lawyer is strongly against it, saying "I SHOULD NOT LEAVE THE US IN F-1 STATUS WITHOUT HAVING AN ADVANCE PAROLE. I RISK ABANDONING MY ADJUSTMENT IF I DO SO. The reason is that F-1 students are not supposed to have immigrant intent and traveling in F-1 status with a pending adjustment is risky...traveling without an approved advance parole is even riskier."

My question: Is the lawyer being too cautious? Anybody has done this before? Please help. I plan to fly to Canada this Saturday. Thanks.
