All this DUI NONSENSE should never come up or be associated with any of us henceforth.

If you reread the new information that was released on Friday, you'll see that in terms of travel outside of the country, they're still working on those details so please wait before jumping to conclusions.

Be grateful, do your research and most importantly stay out of trouble!

And again the DUI was just an example... And thank you I will be on my best behavior.

I do not believe that an EAD grants people permission to travel outside of the country, you need supporting documentation such as a Green Card (or a Green Card being processed) in the case of Permanenent Residents, after which once in possession of the Green Card, an EAD is no longer needed. Not sure of other visa categories but I'm sure of the Green Card category since some people in my family have gone through the process.

I have heard of some TPS holders of Haiti being allowed to return on their trip through Advance Parole,but considering that country's issues it shouldn't be surprising they would be allowed back.Further overview concerning travel documentation might be centered around the following.
