Form I-131, Application for Travel Document (if applicable)

Form I-131 is used by certain foreign nationals to apply for a travel document, such as a reentry permit or advance parole, which allows them to travel outside the United States and return without abandoning their pending immigration application. In immigration court proceedings, a copy of the approved Form I-131 may be submitted as evidence of the respondent’s compliance with the terms of their status and their intention to return to the United States.
