Short Statement: USCIS modified the fee requirements for requests for Advance Parole (AP) and Refugee Travel Documents (RTDs) filed in connection with a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Specifically, the filing fee for Form I-131 will be required if the applicant is requesting AP or an RTD and the applicant has a pending Form I-485 that was filed prior to July 30, 2007, or on/after the effective date of the new fee schedule. The instructions are being amended to indicate that individuals who are abroad and have lost their Advance Parole Document will need to file Form I-131A, Application for Travel Document (Carrier Documentation), to request a travel document to return to the United States.
