FAQ
USCIS issues refugee travel documents to people with refugee or asylum status and to lawful permanent residents who obtained their Green Cards based on their refugee or asylee status.
Your actual refugee travel document should be issued within about 2 to 5 months from filing your Form I-131. You may request that the actual document be sent to your U.S. address, your attorneys address (if you choose to work with an attorney), or to a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad.
The average processing time is around 4-6 months.
Applying for a Refugee Travel Document as a refugee involves submitting Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
You can apply for a travel document while your asylum case is pending with USCIS.
People with pending asylum applications or cases who have been waiting a long time without receiving a decision are allowed to apply for employment authorization (an EAD or work permit). The length of time is currently 150 days (though the Trump Administration tried to change it to 365 days).
May I apply for a travel document to leave the United States and return while my application for asylum is pending? You may apply for Advance Parole while your asylum application is pending. If your application is approved and you obtain Advance Parole, you may depart and return to the United States.
