Are there restrictions on travel outside the U.S. after being granted asylum?
Yes, there are restrictions placed on travel outside the U.S. after being granted asylum in Colorado. After filing for asylum, asylum seekers must remain in the United States until their application is approved or a denial is issued. Once granted asylum, the individual must remain in the United States for at least one year before applying to travel outside the U.S. Individuals granted asylum are required to get a travel document called an Advanced Parole, allowing them to travel abroad and return to the United States. To apply for the travel document, the individual will need to demonstrate a “compelling reason” for the trip, such as visiting a seriously ill family member, and obtain approval to travel. The document must be used to re-enter the U.S. before it expires. If an individual leaves the U.S. without an Advanced Parole Document, they will not be readmitted. Individuals granted asylum are also not allowed to travel to the country from which they sought asylum from, as it is assumed that they could face danger by returning. This means that until an individual is granted permanent residence or a U.S. citizenship, they will not be able to travel to their home country. In order to ensure that individuals granted asylum can continue to travel safely and meet their travel needs, it is important that they understand and follow all restrictions in place. It is also important to understand that any violations of the restrictions can impact their immigration status.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.En Colorado, los solicitantes de asilo tienen la oportunidad de viajar fuera de los Estados Unidos bajo ciertas restricciones. Una vez que se concede el asilo, los solicitantes deben obtener un Pase de Reingreso para regresar al país. Esto se proporciona por el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS). El pase de regreso es un documento de identificación que identifica a los solicitantes como beneficiarios del estatus de inmigrante. Si el solicitante de asilo planea viajar fuera del país, deberá obtener una Autorización de Viaje (Formulario I-131). Esta autorización se expedirá una vez que el solicitante haya recibido su tarjeta de identificación de asilo. También es importante que el solicitante lleve consigo todos los documentos y pruebas usados para solicitar el asilo para demostrar que está legalmente presente en los Estados Unidos. Se recomienda que los solicitantes de asilo busquen asesoramiento legal para obtener la mejor información sobre cualquier restricción que pueda aplicar a la salida y regreso al país. Además, los beneficiarios de asilo deben tener en cuenta que cualquier viaje que realicen fuera de los Estados Unidos puede prolongar el tiempo que lleva recibir la residencia permanente.
