I-131

A travel permit is a document that allows someone living in the U.S. while awaiting their green card to travel abroad without nullifying their green card application. Form I-131 is officially called the Application for Travel Document, and can be used to apply for one of several types of travel documents, such as a re-entry permit, refugee travel document, TPS travel authorization document, or the advance parole travel document.

The advance parole travel document permits you to travel back to the U.S. without applying for another visa, and without nullifying the application you have in progress. It is commonly used when someone has a pending application for permanent residence, adjustment of status or asylum.

You have the following responsibilities upon completion:

  • The signed form must be mailed directly to USCIS.
  • All the applicable USCIS fees must be paid by you
