Guys,
Hanuman is correct over here. So do not get your hopes too high already.

Traveling to Nepal and re-entering USA on Advance Parole as a TPS holder allows that particular person to adjust the status in USA itself, in two cases only,

# when he or she marries a US citizen and
# if his or her US citizen child over 21 petitions on his or her behalf.

So meaning to say that this policy is only helping people with family based petitions that they can adjust status here itself. This is specifically catering those people who had crossed the border illegally and were never inspected while entering but now have gotten TPS.
For sure, people who came legally and were inspected but fell out of status can always adjust their statuses easily inside the country through immediate family category.

And the advance parole entry does not help "erase" any past 'illegal status' if he or she is under an Employer based petition and withholding TPS status currently.

I tried studying that policy alert myself, but could not completely understand everything. This part of information I am sharing here after having a chat with my lawyer.
