Travel Safely, Return Confidently: Refugee Travel Document Services

If the United States has granted you refugee or asylum status, traveling internationally can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be. At the Law Office of Roxanne Rochester, we offer trusted legal guidance to help you apply for and get a travel document for a refugee, ensuring you can travel abroad and return without jeopardizing your status.

What Is a Refugee Travel Document?

A refugee travel document, an official document that permits refugees and asylees to travel abroad, is known as a refugee travel document. It is necessary to return to the United States after a trip, and it works similarly to a passport.

Without this document, you risk being denied refugee reentry to USA, even if your asylum or refugee status is valid. That’s why applying for a USCIS travel document for an asylee before making any travel plans is critical.

Who Needs to File Form I-131?

Anyone with refugee or asylee status must file Form I-131, a refugee application, to obtain a travel document. This form must be approved before you leave the country. Our legal team ensures your form I-131 refugee application is correctly completed, includes all necessary evidence, and is submitted on time, reducing the chance of denial or delays.

Benefits of a Refugee Travel Document

  • Allows international travel for refugees and asylees without risking US status
  • Serves as an alternative passport for individuals who cannot use the passport from their home country
  • Essential for refugee reentry to USA without complications
  • Often valid for one year and can be used for multiple trips
