Will I be able to travel outside of the U.S. If my case is deferred?

If USCIS has decided to defer action in your case and you want to travel outside the U. S., you must apply for advance parole by filing a Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. USCIS will determine whether your purpose for international travel is justifiable based on the circumstances you describe in your request.

Generally, USCIS will only grant advance parole if you are traveling for humanitarian purposes, educational purposes, or employment purposes.

You may not apply for advance parole unless and until USCIS determines whether to defer action in your case pursuant to the consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals process. You cannot apply for advance parole at the same time as you submit your request for consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals. All advance parole requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
