TPS holders can travel internationally for tourism or family visits. To return to the U.S., they must apply for travel authorization through USCIS using Form I-131. After approval, they will receive Form I-512T. Advance parole may also be granted for smooth re-entry into the United States.
First, you should confirm your TPS eligibility before any travel. Consult with an immigration attorney to understand potential risks. Next, obtain the necessary travel documents. This usually includes advance parole, which allows reentry into the U.S. after traveling. You must apply for this permission ahead of time.
Traveling with TPS is often limited to certain countries, primarily your home country or the country of TPS designation. However, traveling to third countries may pose challenges due to not having valid travel documents.
Essential resources include the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website for updated guidelines, and local immigration advocacy organizations for support. Their expertise can prove invaluable during the process.
Understanding these aspects prepares you for better travel planning. Next, we will explore in detail the application process for advance parole and tips for safe travel with TPS.
