I am really confused with this immigration officers at the airports.
My father just came back from abroad today thru Houston, TX with his CG and his Refugee Travel Document (With the status Permanent Resident). He was sent to secondary inspection because of not having his National Passport (What?), and in there the officer took away his RTD and told him that ""This Document is just a Travel Authorization, but he has to have a National Passport"" The officer also told him that even though he is a Permanent Resident of the U.S he is still (Nationality Name) and he needs to get a passport from (Native Country).
Once again, the Travel Document had the status mark “Permanent Resident”. So I dont know what to say, was the officer a “rookie” and he didnt know about immigration and ex-asylees, or what happened?
My dad told me that the officer ask other officers about it and they were all kind of confused too, but the supervisor officer told them to take away the RTD...
We are really confused. We didn’t renew our expired national passports because of the rules and safety of don’t give immigration an excuse to take away our green cards…blah, blah, blah... and we all got travel documents from CIS…
So... was the officer right? Do we need to get our National Passports? Should we get Reentry Permits? Should we get Reentry permits AND NP???
Does anybody have any experiences traveling with RTD(PR) + GC....
I am really starting to believe that the easy way to travel is GC + NP...
