What is the process to apply for a travel document?

In California, the process for applying for a travel document, also referred to as an immigration document, is handled by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). To apply for a travel document, you must complete an Application for Travel Document (Form I-131). This form must be filled out and submitted along with the required fees and any additional supporting documents. Typically, the documents you will need to submit with your application include proof of your legal residency status in the United States, proof of identity, and proof of financial resources. In addition to the application, fee, and documents, you may also need to complete any additional forms that may be required. Once you have filled out all the required documents, they must be sent to the California-based USCIS office, along with a copy of your approved travel document. After the application and documents have been received, they will be reviewed and processed by the USCIS. If your application is approved, you will be issued a travel document. It is important to note that the process for obtaining a travel document can take several weeks or even months to complete. Additionally, once you have been issued a travel document, it is important to remember that you are required to carry it with you at all times when traveling.

Para solicitar un documento de viaje, una persona debe primero cumplir con los requisitos para establecer una residencia legal en California. Esto puede incluir completar el formulario I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (Solicitud de pariente extranjero I-130) si la persona viene con un pariente que ya es ciudadano estadounidense. La persona también debe demostrar que reúne los requisitos para ser elegible para una tarjeta de residencia. Una vez que la persona haya cumplido con estos requisitos, puede solicitar un documento de viaje llamado Advance Parole (Autorización anticipada). Esta petición se envía al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos utilizando el Formulario I-131. La persona debe proporcionar documentación que demuestre que tiene la intención de regresar a Estados Unidos una vez finalizado el viaje. La solicitud puede ser enviada por correo postal o por internet. Si la solicitud se envía por correo postal, el Servicio de Ciudadanía puede tardar hasta 8-10 semanas en aprobarla. Si se envía por internet, puede tardar hasta 4 semanas. Una vez aprobada la solicitud, el Servicio de Ciudadanía emitirá el documento de viaje.
