How long does it take to receive a travel document?

The amount of time it takes to receive a travel document in Washington will depend on the type of document you are applying for. Generally, it takes around 8-10 weeks to receive a Permanent Resident Card (green card), issued to individuals who are approved for lawful permanent residence in the United States. If you are applying for a reentry permit or refugee travel document, it will generally take up to 90 days for the document to be processed and the document to be issued. Some applications can take longer for processing, especially if it is a complex case. If you are applying for a humanitarian parole, it will take up to 25 days for the document to be processed, and a decision to be made. If you are applying for a temporary travel document, also known as a “laser visa”, this will usually take 4-5 days for the document to be processed and issued. In any case, it is important to make sure to submit your application as soon as possible, and make sure that all of the information and documents are complete and accurate, as this could speed up the process.
