Once the immigration judge grants the motion they can then try to get the case terminate (the ideal result) or at the very least administratively closed.
As mentioned by others, traveling with a final order of removal opens up the opportunity for the office at your port of entry to deny you admission back into the US even if you have an advance parole.

Admin closing or terminating proceedings is pretty damn hard these days due to the shit Sessions pulled while he was AG. Admin closure is pretty much dead outside of the 4th circuit (MD, VA, WV, NC, SC). Termination, you kinda need the ICE's attorney to join you in the motion for that and they generally won't do it unless you somehow become eligible for AOS, unless you are the in the 4th circuit.
Myself I'm kinda sitting around hoping that the new AG reverses what Sessions did so I can just send a motion to terminate to the court that has my proceedings admin closed (managed to get it a few months before Sessions did his thing). Though I will likely just try a joint motion to terminate once I get my I-360 approval notice.
