Hi! I got my green card from asylum and I have the passport from COP. Do I have to apply for Refuge Travel Document if I want to travel outside? The INS says so but I heard that many people can come back with just the GC and passport. Would someone explain this to me. Thanks!

If you have a Green Card and an unexpired Passport then you don't need a Refugee Travel Document.

Are you sure about this? Is there any INS publication that mentions this?

Most prudent attorneys recommend the use of a refugee travel document or a reentry permit. Use of your national passport could raise questions about the bona fides of the original asylum application. Plus, in most situations using a U.S. issued travel document is heck lot more convenient than using your national passport.

You can use your NP if the country conditions have changed since you got your asylum.
 
Wantmygcnow,

What do you think about someone who was asylum applicant in 1994 but got asylum approval in 2005?
