Traveling Outside the US As Asylee applicant ,Asylee,LPR through Asylum

I’m sorry, but it seems you don’t want to hear the facts—you prefer something more comforting, even if it’s not realistic. The attorney front consulted said that there is no problem. Then the attorney cares about money and he’s telling you exactly what you or him wants to hear so he can calm down . I am sharing a real example of what happened to my friend, who also came from a dangerous country, Iraq. He traveled back to his home country due to a family emergency after a relative passed away.

When he arrived at the airport, he was questioned about his travel documents, and although they initially let him in, things escalated when he returned to the U.S. Upon his arrival, an investigation was conducted because he had violated the terms of his asylum status by returning to the country he claimed to fear persecution in. His asylum status was canceled, and he was sentenced to three years in prison before being deported.

This is the reality of how these situations can unfold.
Best of luck!

I can’t agree more! It doesn’t matter if you are the principal applicant or a derivative asylee—once you are granted asylum, you are expected to never return to your home country under any circumstances. The U.S. government grants asylum because it believes you are at risk of persecution in that country.

By returning, regardless of the reason, you are essentially admitting that your asylum claim was false. This is considered a blatant lie to the U.S. government, and you fully deserve the severe consequences that follow for committing such fraud.

it’s always safe to go back after obtaining the US citizenship though but not GC!

Everyone’s asylum story is different, and we’ve already consulted with four immigration lawyers yes, IMMIGRATION LAWYERS. By God’s grace, my friend got his home country's passport and returned safely to the USA today. Stop spreading negativity and giving advice without understanding the situation.

Asylum cases vary, and most derivative asylees can travel to their principal applicant’s country of origin and return safely. The key is that the derivative asylee should not be mentioned in the principal applicant’s asylum case. My friend is safe because he was never mentioned in the story.

If you don’t have something positive or knowledgeable to add, please don’t reply. And when I say "bye," I mean it—don’t keep responding.

Just now an immigration lawyer spoke to us and informed that the derivative asylees who is not mentioned in any part of the principal applicants asylum story can travel to the COP safely. Please if you do not know any facts stop advising. My question is how to get his RTD back from the US embassy or if they will send it back to his US address. Also the COP never mentioned anything about his entry to their country and they are only concerned about the RTD. Thank you and Bye!

I’ve decided it’s time to leave this forum. It used to be such a great place a few years ago, but things have changed. Many of the wonderful people I enjoyed interacting with have left, and the atmosphere hasn’t been the same since some difficult individuals joined. Even when their accounts are blocked, they keep coming back with new usernames, and it’s just not worth the hassle anymore. So, I’m officially signing off. Take care, everyone!

I see more immigration judges in this group who are more topper than real judges
 
There is absolutely a difference between principle and derivative asylees. That's number one.

Number two, traveling to one's COP with a GC as a principal is not always a no-no. It depends on the situation on the ground, and whether it has changed from the time the person faced persecution. It can also be that living there is different from visiting, and as a visitor, one may not face the same hardship.

However, traveling to one's COP with a refugee travel document is a pretty bad idea, even with a GC, and even for derivative asylees. The COP government would clearly not like that, and your friend is lucky that they only confiscated it, and that they could get a passport. All's well that ends well, but it was a stupid idea.

Lastly, I would like to recommend that people here remain open to new information, and not assume they have are the authority on everything. Once again, derivative asylees are treated very differently to principal asylees if they are only derivatives because they have a relationship with the principal. If a derivative asylee also faced the same persecution, it could be a different story but, again, it's all based on the individual case in the end.
 
does anyone know what the i-131 form question below means, I am in US, should I answer yes or no?:


"Are you filing for a Refugee Travel Document before departing the United States?"

if I say yes they ask me to write a statement the reason for leaving US, this is a new edition of i-131 form, did anyone recently apply for it and did you submit any statement with your application?
 
Hey guys I know some of you have done multiple travels with RTD. I’m doing some research as I want to go to Thailand in February. I know Thailand accepts RTD with a visa. The issue I’m having is that because I leave on the east coast. I only see Quatar/emirates. I know both don’t accept RTD for tourism but does anyone know if we can transit there? Or has anyone with RTD done international flights with transit through these countries? Thanks
