Are there any special provisions for a child to receive a travel document while their application for an immigrant visa is in process?

Yes, there are special provisions for a child to receive a travel document while their application for an immigrant visa is in process in New Jersey. This is known as an Advance Parole Document. This document allows the child to temporarily leave the United States and re-enter while their visa application is pending. The child must have a valid reason for leaving and returning to the United States such as medical, educational, or emergency reasons. In order to apply for the Advance Parole Document, the child must fill out and submit Form I-131. The application must include proof of the child’s pending immigrant visa application and other necessary documents. The child must also pay the appropriate fee which is currently $575. Additionally, the child must provide proof of any medical or educational reasons for travel. Once the application is submitted, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will review the application and notify the child of any additional documents that are needed to complete the application. Once all documents are submitted, the USCIS will review and issue the Advance Parole Document to the child if approved. The Advance Parole Document is valid for one year and can be extended if needed.

Existen muchos procedimientos especiales para los niños al aplicar para documentos de viaje mientras su petición de visado de inmigrante esté en curso. Por ejemplo en el estado de Nueva Jersey se aplica la Chancery de Inmigración de Hechos Especiales, que permite a los solicitantes de menos de 21 años de edad una excepción para recibir un documento de viaje. Este programa permite que los menores puedan viajar mientras esperan que una petición se apruebe. Por lo tanto, los menores pueden viajar a su país de origen para ver a familiares y regresar a los Estados Unidos antes de que se complete el proceso de petición de visado. Esto también facilita que la persona pueda ser procesada para su visa de inmigrante. Los menores también pueden usar la documentación temporal para cualquier otro propósito oficial antes de que se apruebe el visado de inmigrante. Esto incluye tarjetas de seguro social, permisos de trabajo y licencia de conducir en el estado de Nueva Jersey. Para obtener más información acerca de los procedimientos aplicables en el estado de Nueva Jersey para los menores que solicitan documentos de viaje mientras esperan que se apruebe un visado de inmigrante, se recomienda comunicarse con un abogado de inmigración.
