Parole - can one leave the USA?

From what my pp tells me, he has to stay in his city throughout his parole period. And he also said that USA doesn't allow felons to leave USA, I dunno how true that is??? I'm also hoping someone can tell me. But I'm pretty certain that he won't be able to leave USA if he's on parole. Hope I've helped! (even I need help too haha).

Thanks, Eltaria! I kind of thought that they are not allowed to leave the country. ;(

If he's on parole chances are he won't be able to get a passport. Sometimes they let the parolee leave the area *but* they still have to check in with their parole officer. He won't be able to leave the US, let alone the state, to live until his parole is up. However, some do get granted permission to take vacations and whatnot. It all depends on their parole stipulations.

Felons can get passports and can travel. The US won't keep them from traveling. It's up to the country they're traveling *to* to let them in. :)

My gut feeling is that I wouldn't hold my breath, Christin1976. #1) Just as Eltaria suggests, it is almost impossible for the U.S. to let felons leave the country. #2) I suspect that it would be even harder to get Germany to allow a felon into the country. Good luck with this, but you might want to work up a "Plan B", as in where you come to the U.S. It might be a whole lot easier.

I think it's highly unlikely that an individual on parole would be allowed to leave the area. After that period is up however, he should be free to travel, and from what I gather it's not up to the country to which he travels to, in this case Germany to vet the individual and then let them in. If he is coming for a holiday, it should be fine if you want to have permanent residence I think that might be quite difficult..

Hi, yeah I agree with everyone here...pretty sure the answer would be no. My guy is wanting to leave the state when he gets out but has to get permission. He told me last time they refused even that so we will see.

Felons, those who have done their time, *can* leave the country. They won't be denied a passport. They can't stop people from leaving.

It would be up to the country they wanted to visit whether they would be allowed in, and whether the border patrol/customs checks.

And there is plan C. :
Parole can be transferred from state to state, therefore there is no reason that it cannot be transferred from country to country.

I am good friends with a gay couple, living in Australia, who are both parolees. One from Scandinavia, one from South-eastern Europe.
It took a good immigration lawyer (Marsden's), a lot of euros, and a bit of political clout.

There is nothing that cannot be achieved with determination and by [I]crossing a gypsy's palm with silver[/I].

If on parole he would NOT be allowed to leave the country (USA) from all i understand. Depending on the rules and regulations of immigration (crime) in the country he is wanting to stay in (Germany) after his parole is complete, will be the deciding factor if he is allowed entry. Some country's are more lenient than others, as you would probably know.

Oh, yeah, we have a plan B for me moving to the States for that time. :)

Thanks everybody for your input! That is great help! :)
