They want proof of all my travel outside the US, and specifically named three LIN #s for RTDs...but I don't have the original RTDs because obviously, I had to submit them when renewing.
Will airline tickets and copies be sufficient, do you think? Anyone been in a similar situation?


I have to tell you guys that I am extremely relieved, despite the fact that I don't have all RTDs!

Did they mention what is acceptable proof? Or just proof of travel? I think this is so stupid thing to ask for by USCIS..I mean they issue us RTDS to travel obviously...

Hate to remind you Espresso, but I told you so. I had an idea that they wanted the travelling details like WHERE, WHY and WHEN, and only RTDs can show the details. The only thing they want to be sure of is that the applicant, while being an Asylee did not travel to his/her country of origin. Thats all they want!
 
Hey why do you hate to remind me? I love it that you were right. BUt if they require me to send them original RTD in order to get a new one, how am I supposed to produce it now? They have it!

Do you think copies and airline tix and such will suffice?
 
My advise to fellow asylees is that please do not trvl outside USA unnecessarily, unless it is job related. Some of us just to take advantage of the associated trvlg priviledge make overseas trips. It could delay your cases. Some of you may not agree with me but it is a very sincere advise.

If you have copies of all the related RTDs, maybe that would work. I think you shouldnt take a chance. Submit all the relevant docts that you have. Tickets, Copies of Visas, Copies of RTDs, plus the copies of the reciepts of the RTDS.
 
1) YOu have got to be kidding me. I live to travel, and if I had money and possibility I would do nothing but. It is a part of human rights, FYI. And we are in a country that respects human rights.
However, I only travelled once to see my family in a third country, and once to meet my boyfriend's family in Europe. Hardly a criminal, am I?

2) Exactly how does your last piece of advice help me now?

Please dont take me wrong. I didnt mean particularly you, I too love travelling, I have seen half of the world before I came to USA. Trvlg doesnt make anyone a criminal. But you know, Asylum is a status which carries advantages as well as disadvantages. I dont need to elaborate. Although tempted I never did take avail the trvlg priviledge.

USCIS have a checklist of things they have to have before they can make a desicion (the checklist is posted online also).

This is a quote:

Proof of any absences from the U.S. since you have been granted asylum. For example: photocopies of pages in refugee travel document or passport.

As u mentioned before you traveled after applying for adjustment and because of that USCIS don't have record of it. They have to have to complete application. Nothing serious, just a little details. And congratulations, you obvously really close of getting your GC.
 
Free,

I agree with you. Particular they are very curious about those Canada trip via driving, since there is no visa, nothing in RTD, but a returning stamp.

My cousin had to submit his NP too to show

1) there is no stamp or corner-cut indicating a new passport being issued.
2) there is any visas in the passport.
 
Lets put the arguing aside....Espresso, Do you have a lawyer? Anyone on this board with lawyers..can they offer Espresso some advice? She has no RTD since they were sent to renew so how can she produce them? What if someone never copies their RTD?...How do proof of tickets prove anything to them ?

Free's advice is good only people had known that travelling could've caused any problems during adjustment time.

Espresso, Please do tell us what you send whenever you have gotten the evidence.
 
BTW I remeber someone posted that u should not necessarily submit your old RTD to get a new one. Is that correct?

I never submitted old RTD to get new one. They never requested it either.

I too remember that some people submitted only photo copies of RTDs when applying for new ones.

Windy thank you for agreeing with me. I was feeling totally lost after giving the "Advise".

Free,

You have to submit original RTD ONLY IF your RTD is still valid.

But given the number of requests for RTD and passport and length of wait, (yes, my another cousin gave them everything, but his case is pending ever since, while my cousin got his approval recently with ND 2001.) I just don't think it is worth trying. Going to UK, Germany shouldn't be a problem, but to Lebanon while you are Syrian asylee? particularly the visa is not coming from the country you listed in your RTD application. It certainly triggers some questions. Free, you know what "you" is not referring to you, right? I want no enemies from this forum.....

Windywd Makes an excellent point I think. Espresso can you tell us if the countries you visited were close to your home country??..
