Depending on your immigration status (including lawful permanent resident status) or if you have a pending application for an immigration benefit, you may need to carry different types of travel documents if you wish to return to the United States lawfully after traveling outside the United States. In certain cases, you should apply for these documents before you leave the United States.

USCIS issues 5 types of travel documents:

• Advance parole document;
• Refugee travel document;
• Re-entry permit;
• TPS travel authorization; and
• Carrier documentation.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you have been in the United States illegally, then you may be subject to a bar to admission if you depart the United States, even if you have been issued a travel document. Please schedule a consultation with an immigration attorney to discuss your options!

Happy Friday with snacks and important announcements during our staff meeting! 😊😊

HAPPY MONDAY!

The NPRM states that the changes will “modernize and improve the efficiency of the H-1B program, add benefits and flexibilities, and improve integrity measures.”
