My sister got her RTD last week but her class says "ASYLEE" not Permanent Resident. She is a PR since 2003 with a GC in hand..

Is that ok? or cause for concern?

Its ok to complete her trip on this RTD. After the trip she might want to call USCIS and let them know about this mistake and either have it corrected by sending RTD back or just keep on using this RTD.
e.g. my RTD shows "asylee" but I plan to use this with my GC.
 
Well, It depends on how your sister got her greencard. If she has got her greencard through asylum, then her class of admission to pernanent residency should be asylee and that should appear on her Refugee Travel Document. But if she was admitted on other basis then that should be a mistake. Remember, your greencard states your class of admission. your travel document should also state as well. Nothing to worry.....it is normal..

NO! When you become PR, your RTD shows "PR" NOT "Asylee" under class of addmission.

That's what I thought too Lazer and today I called USCIS and talked to an officer. He said that they have changed that rule and it says your class of adjustment..i.e refugee or asylee and not a PR since RTD is issued to asylee's & refugees only and putting as PR caused confusions...

I dont think thats true..but I took the word for it.

I got my RTD issued on June 22,2006.CLASS said Permanent Resident.No more Asylee like how it used to be before.USCIS might mistake the Class category if your sister didn't click the box(on the application Form) I'm a PR as a result of asylum...Also your sister should send a copy of her GC along with her application.
So far her RTD is ok for travel purpose and there is nothing to worry about it.But technically there is a mistake on it.
