CASE DETAILS AND NOTES

Travel Document Application Approved by USCIS

Foreign National client sought the ability to legally travel outside and return to the United States. A travel document gives a foreign national person permission to leave and remain outside the United States for a specific period of time and then re-enter the United States. A Greencard Application typically takes between 6-18 months to get approved or denied by USCIS. Therefore, a Travel Document Application is usually filed concurrently with a Greencard Application because it allows a foreign national person to leave and re-enter the United States while his or her Greencard Application is pending. Mrs. Huff prepared the appropriate Forms and presented sufficient evidence to USCIS and was able to get our client’s Travel Document Application approved.
