Are there restrictions on travel outside the U.S. after being granted asylum?
Yes, there are restrictions on travel outside the U.S. after being granted asylum in Ohio. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires asylees to obtain permission before traveling outside the United States. An asylee can apply for a travel document, also known as an Advanced Parole, if they plan to travel abroad. The Advanced Parole document will allow you to travel to your destination and return to the U.S. without applying for a separate visa. Additionally, if you have an approved Form I-589, Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal, you will need to wait at least one year before traveling outside the U.S. During this one-year period, you will need to stay in the U.S. and establish your residency. You will also need to provide proof of identity and evidence that your trip abroad is related to your claim for asylum or to your decision to remain in the U.S. You will likely need to provide evidence for why you must travel outside the U.S., such as evidence that you are temporarily visiting family or for medical purposes. The USCIS may deny your application for travel outside the U.S., even if you have an approved Form I-589, if they believe that you will not return to the U.S. Therefore, you should take caution when applying for permission to travel outside the U.S. after being granted asylum in Ohio.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.En Ohio, la Ley de Inmigración especifica las condiciones de los solicitantes de asilo. La Convención de Refugiados protege a los solicitantes de asilo que han huido de su país de origen principalmente debido a la persecución por razones de raza, religión, nacionalidad, opiniones políticas o pertenencia a un grupo social. Aquellos que reciben asilo en los Estados Unidos tienen algunas restricciones cuando se trata de viajar fuera del país. Uno tiene que obtener un permiso de viaje llamado “Documento de Autorización de Viaje” (Autorizacion para Viajar, por sus siglas en inglés, “ATV”). Los ATVs se emiten para la salida temporal y regreso a los Estados Unidos. La solicitud debe completarse por escrito junto con la documentación requerida y se le otorgará de manera gratuita. Si tiene planes de salir temporalmente del país, es importante recordar que los permisos de viaje sólo son válidos para un número limitado de días y se deben solicitar con anticipación. Además, algunos países no permiten la entrada de residentes de los Estados Unidos con asilo, por lo tanto es importante conocer la información de visa antes de programar un viaje. Es fundamental que los solicitantes de asilo recuerden que cada caso de asilo es diferente y que siempre deben consultar a un abogado inmigración calificado si tienen preguntas sobre su caso.
