Thanks Mr. Clisp: It does not make sense if you don't understand the situation. At the time I was filing my greencard application, I filed on the bases of asylum and I was eligible; however, while my case was pending I divorced. In this case, I was not able to get greencard through my wife so I had to asylum interview on my own. They call it nunc pro tunc. The reason they sent to San Francisco asylum office is because I live in seattle WA, and there is no asylum office here. The asylum office in San Francisco has jurisdiction over my area. that is the reason. That office some times when they have enough cases send officers to here...I hope that is clear...and by the way thanks for your goodwill and good luck to you as well..

Did you apply RTD before ?
If one had an expired or unexpired RTD and he decides to apply for RP, do you think CIS will deny his RP application, or instead give him a new RTD ?
I remember I read from this forum that one member's RP application was denied because he previously applied for RTD.
Thanks,

If you have valid RTD, then they won't issue a new one. I had an expired one. I kept a photo copy of it, and mailed the old one. I had no problem with them. So if you have expired RTD, you should return it along with your initial application. This is my understanding only. I don't know the correctness of it.

Thanks, faysal.
My question was if you return expired RTD to them then apply for RP (Reentry Permit), will they deny your RP because you previously applied for RTD ?
Can you apply for RP and RTD and RP...by turn to accomodate your need ?

No. You have a right to apply for whichever you want. You must be a permenant resident to apply for Re-entry Permit, however.
The travel document that I had was RTD; I returned RTD and applied for RP. No Problem. they Issued me a RP. So if you are permenant residence, you should not have problem....Hope I understood your question

Thank you faysal for your answer.
1. Since most countries recognize RP ( per Mr. Moderator ) and RP has two yr validity, why don't GC holders pursue RP instead of RTD ?
2. Most visas need at least 6 months validity of your travel document ( RP or RTD ), then how did you deal with this new/old RP during this transitional period when you need a visa right away ?

Well the reason lot of people go for RTD and I can speak for myself is because if you have a RTD, you do not need a visa to Germany. I and Cadel have landed in Germany and gone all over Europe without a visa. If you request a visa with your Rentry Permit, first it takes about $100 bucks with insurance etc and then its' reallly a headache to go pick up and they treat you as you are a criminial.
I only travel to Europe & Canada. For me, RTD is great because no visa needed if I need to go to Europe. Even though other countries in Europe require a visa, usually there is no police control between schegen states..
But if you need to travel once or so per year..go for RP.

Correct me if I'm wrong!!
hey guys! It's been a long time since I posted here, but I appreciate all your inputs, which I read frequently during my nights of insomnia.
One quick question: I THOUGHT that if you are a GREEN CARD holder, you just needed to use your GC to get back to the US and if you need a visa, stamp it in your National Passport.
Maybe the RP is to avoid the use of the NP before your citizenship?
Also, does the Rp have the same shape and pages like a RTD?
Thank you all,
Oh, and I applied in June/06, did FP 07/06 will get drunk many times befroe I hear from them...hehe. Will create a signature with this later.
Peace and love,
M
