Questions about RTD application

I want to apply for RTD but there are some sections that are unclear to me. I hope somebody here will be able to help me.

1. Part 3 of the RTD application asks about the date of intended departure and duration of the trip. I don't have any specific date or any plan yet. I am getting this RTD because I want to file it with my I-485? What should I put in that section?

2. Part 4 of the RTD application also asks about the purpose of the trip and the list of the countries I am planning to visit? I don't have any plan yet. What should I put in that section?

Even though I don't have any plan to travel yet, I still want to get RTD because I want to apply for it with my GC application.
 
Put something down. You are not required to perform the trip and go to those exact countries, but just to make the application complete, fill something in.
 
If you have been granted asylum, DHS (USCIS, CBP and ICE) remains interested in your travel and on the look out for you to return to the country from which you fled and its neighboring countries (from which you could slip across the border on your COP passport or other ID) as well as a return to a "third country" where it is possible that you may have had "firm re-settlement". Unnecessary travel by an asylee is not a good idea. After all, you fled to the U.S. seeking protection from persecution. Asylum can be terminated for certain reasons (look it up and read about it).

Here is just one small part of what you will find.....

INA 208(c)

(2) Termination of asylum

Asylum granted under subsection (b) of this section does not
convey a right to remain permanently in the United States, and may
be terminated if the Attorney General determines that--

If you are just looking for an easy to use government issued ID, the EAD that fits in your wallet is more convenient to use and it is also included in the price of the I-485.

If you have no travel plans, you don't need a RTD. You may file the I-131 at a later time when you do have travel plans at no additional cost while the I-485 remains pending by submitting a copy of the I-485 receipt notice. A RTD is only issued for one year at a time anyway.

The company I work for is a global company and has branches in Canada, Europe, and Australia. They sometimes send employees randomly to other branches in other countries when project needs arise. That is why it is good idea for me to have RTD in hand just in case a job project opportunity arise.
 
USCIS policy doesn't require you to have a specific trip plan or a departure date.
As long as you are an asylee, refugee, or GC holder through asylum and have not renewed your NP and you have no plan to go to COP, then you are eligible for RTD

To answer your question, you can put an approximate date and a country that you think you might visit in the near future.

You would do yourself a favor by including a statement just like that with your application. It ceratinly wouldn't hurt.
