How do I obtain a travel document if I am married to a non-U.S. citizen?

If you are married to a non-U.S. citizen and you need a travel document, you should contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). First, you will need to complete Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. This form can be filled out online, or you can get a paper version from your local USCIS office. On the form, you will need to provide information about yourself and your non-citizen spouse. You will also need to provide evidence of your marriage, like a marriage certificate or other documents. Next, you will also need to provide proof that you are eligible for a travel document. If you are a permanent resident, you will need to provide a copy of your Permanent Resident Card (green card). You may also need to include evidence of your current address and your employment status. Once you have filled out the form and provided all of the necessary evidence, you can submit your application to the USCIS. After processing your application, the USCIS will send you a decision about whether or not you are eligible for a travel document. If you are approved, you will receive a travel document that will allow you to travel outside the United States.

Si usted está casado con un ciudadano extranjero, puede obtener un documento de viaje si su cónyuge no tiene una visa de inmigrante. Para ello, debe comenzar por llenar un Formulario I-130, Petición para un Familiar Distante. La solicitud debe presentarse con el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de los Estados Unidos. Si recibe la aprobación del Formulario I-130, será puesto en la cola de espera para recibir una visa inmigrante. Una vez que se aprueba la petición, el paso siguiente es solicitar un viaje temporal al extranjero. Esto se puede hacer mediante la solicitud de una visa non-immigrant I-131. Esta visa le permitirá viajar al extranjero mientras espera la aprobación de la visa inmigrante, y los viajes futuros deben hacerse dentro de los períodos de permanencia concedidos por la visa. Finalmente, si desea permanecer en el extranjero por más tiempo, debe solicitar la renovación de su visa, ya sea mediante I-131 o I-129. La solicitud debe presentarse con el USCIS (Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos) antes de que expire el período de validez de su visa. Si su solicitud es aprobada, recibirá una visa extendida que le permitirá viajar a los Estados Unidos.
