How can I get permission to travel while my asylum application is being processed?

In New Hampshire, the asylum process is governed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). To obtain permission to travel while your asylum application is being processed, you must first apply for Advance Parole. Advance Parole is a form of travel authorization provided to asylees who are in the process of applying for asylum in the United States. This permission is granted on a case-by-case basis and may be granted for a single or multiple entries into the United States. To apply for Advance Parole, you must file Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, with USCIS. Along with the application, you must provide supporting evidence, such as your current address and proof of your identity. You may also be required to submit additional documents, such as a copy of your approved Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, or a copy of your pending asylum application. Once your application is received, USCIS will review your request and determine whether you meet the eligibility criteria for Advance Parole. If approved, USCIS will issue you a Travel Document allowing you to travel outside the United States while your asylum application is pending. Please note that applying for Advance Parole does not guarantee that you will be allowed to return to the United States. It is important to keep in mind that any travel outside the United States while your asylum application is pending may negatively impact your case. Therefore, before traveling you should speak with an attorney who is knowledgeable in immigration law and understand the risks associated with travel during the asylum application process.

Para obtener permiso para viajar mientras se procesa la solicitud de asilo, deberá solicitar un permiso de salida especial del Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS). Este permiso se otorga a aquellas personas que hayan presentado una solicitud de asilo en los Estados Unidos y que deseen viajar al extranjero por un período limitado de tiempo. Esto requiere que presenten una solicitud junto con los documentos correspondientes al USCIS, antes de su viaje. Los documentos requeridos para este proceso son: una copia de su Formulario de Solicitud de Asilo y del Formulario de Acción Ejecutiva Concedida, junto con una carta explicando el motivo de su viaje y el período de tiempo previsto. Si desea que el permiso de salida se apruebe aún más rápido, puede presentar una carta de aceptación de una universidad, empleador o amigo con homólogo expedida por el país de destino, junto con su solicitud. Además, también debe presentar una carta de apoyo de su abogado jurídico. Esto demostrará que la solicitud de asilo está siendo procesada activamente. Si el USCIS aprueba el permiso de salida, recibirá un documento oficial emitido por la Oficina de Ciudadanía e Inmigración. Si el solicitante de asilo no regresa al país dentro del tiempo especificado en el documento, el permiso de salida puede ser revocado.
