Your travel document is your authorisation to return to the US. Did they tell you what they want specifically?

Do they still process them in Nebraska? Try faxing a cover letter to the fax number I indicated in this thread: https://forums.immigration.com/threads/expedited-rtd-question.289414/. The last time I needed this was in 2008 I think so it HAS been ten years but the following threads also indicate...

You can request the application be expedited. It's entirely possible he will get the biometrics appointment in a couple of weeks if he mails the application and permit the day he lands on US soil. If studying is given as a reason, it should work (at least it did for me when I was a student...

Look, I can see how it can be frustrating that they can't give you a replacement, or accept your copy as proof of having surrendered your nationality, but I would really avoid doctoring documents because if they become suspicious and you're caught for whatever reason, you don't know what hassles...

Your friend is traveling on an Indian passport unlawfully. I don't know how he gets away with it, but he could get caught and be in trouble. I would highly advise you avoid it. For example, immigration in India could ask where you came from or where you're going, and if you can't prove you have...

I traveled for 4 months, returned, and left again for a month with RTD, no GC, and was fine. This was 13 years ago, though...

Let's all hold off on the judgment for a bit, shall we, and stick to the question? The Indian passport will indeed be legally invalid, and I suggest postponing your departure by a few days at least so you can get a same-day passport, apply for an expedited renunciation certificate, and get an...

If you can convince the interviewer you did not abandon your residence, you can be naturalised. It all depends on that.

Direct consular processing is quite fast, so once you have the immigrant visa, you two may enter the US, and then leave immediately for a few months as well if you need to activate the visa long before you intend to move permanently.

You don't need to submit those. Take them to the interview.

Should be fine to do this. A normal situation for people moving to the US permanently :) What about the rest of the family? Are they moving with you? When will they activate their status?

Of course LPRs can use automated passport control! The receipt is mostly for customs, not passport control officers, so don't bring anything you'd need to disclose, and you will likely sail through without ever dealing with a person.

I just remembered that you probably won't even encounter an officer - you'll use automated passport control. No stamps.

Most likely, the only questions you'll face will not have anything to do with asylum, unless you have a very knowledgeable officer, and you're traveling to your COP.

Well, you'll kind of be on holiday right? People going on holiday do not change their address. So, again, while they want to be able to find you physically, you won't really be doing something illegal like trying to hide from them - because you will be reachable, and can go and report to them if...

Eh, I don't remember, but I think you can't really use a PO box or mail service, whatever that is. I mean, technically the address is so that they can come and get you to throw you out and stuff, but unless you have immigration issues, it's not really an issue, in which case the address is just...

Was the immigrant visa for the US? What happened to your cousin?

A friend's address would be easiest. If you won't need CIS services for the year you'll be gone, it won't really matter. If you do need their services, you'll have a proper address. They just want to be able to reach you. You will, after all, retain your driving licence, right? You can update...

No problems re-entering with her valid (and never renewed) NP. At her naturalisation interview, however, she was asked to explain why she returned to her COP. She sent in a letter explaining that she was a secondary asylee, and that she had to go see her parents who were ailing. She got her...

As AS8, you are generally ok to use your passport to travel, and also to go to your COP. This is, of course, dependent on whether the threat your mother faced would also follow you. If not, then you're safe to go as it would not cast doubt on your mother's asylum claim. Just be careful that your...
