Hello everyone!
I was granted asylum in July 2011 and in September I applied for my Refugee Travel Document. I have never been here ilegal. I went from Student Status "F1" straight to "asylee status".
According to the law, an asylee is able to apply to for his/her permanent status "Green Card" a year later after being granted. However, the fees to get a Green Card are really expensive and I personally don't have that amount of money.
I recently booked a two week trip to Norway for the first week of August 2012 regarding some family issues and I"ve gotten a "Schengen Visa" which is required for those using the RTD. "Except Germany"
My question is: On July 20th will be one year since I was granted asylum, remembering "I don't have money for the fees to apply for my GC". Will I have problems flying back to the United States by using only the RTD without the Green Card?
Thank you so much!
