GO TRAVEL WITH YOUR RTD

Hi may I ask if you apply for the RTD yourself? Did you submit any documents besides the actual form? Like a recent photo, DL/EAD, and a document that proves Asylee status?

It’s straight forward you can do it yourself. I submitted my proof of asylum two passport size photos and DL along with it. Got my receipt in a week and previous biometrics were applied.

Thanks for confirming! Have you traveled on your RTD before? Just wondering if it’s safe for asylee-based LPRs or if a re-entry permit might be better.

Yes, I have traveled with the RTD and it was safe for me. It depends on the country and the airline you choose to travel. This is my first time applying for a re entry permit instead of an RTD because it is valid for two years. In my opinion, the re entry permit is not accepted as a travel document in some countries like the RTD, but the country I plan to visit does accept it. Also, it is usually easier to re enter the US with a re entry permit than with an RTD, though it can still depend on each person’s situation and a bit of luck.

Thanks for sharing this information. The 2-year validity of the re-entry permit definitely sounds like a good advantage over the RTD.

Can approved asylee request re-entry permit in lieu of RTD? I was under the assumption that RTD is the only way.

A re-entry permit is for U.S. green card holders who plan to stay outside the United States for more than six months. It helps them return to the U.S. without risking their permanent resident status. In some cases, the re-entry permit can also be used as a travel document instead of a passport, similar to a Refugee Travel Document. However, only a limited number of countries accept the re-entry permit as a travel document instead of a passport, while the RTD is recognized by many more countries worldwide.
