Planning a trip outside the US while awaiting your green card or needing to return after temporary travel as a refugee? Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, is your key! This form is crucial for obtaining Advance Parole, Refugee Travel Documents, or reentry permits.
**Who Needs Form I-131?**
You'll likely need to file Form I-131 if you're a green card applicant waiting for approval or a refugee/asylee needing to travel internationally. Advance Parole allows certain individuals with pending immigration applications to travel abroad without abandoning their application.
**Key Considerations:**
* **Eligibility:** Carefully review the USCIS requirements to ensure you qualify.
* **Documentation:** Gather all necessary supporting documents, as specified in the I-131 instructions.
* **Filing Fee:** Be prepared to pay the required filing fee.
Navigating immigration forms can be complex. Consult with an immigration attorney for personalized guidance to ensure your application is complete and accurate. Safe travels!
