Form I-131A has a single use. A lawful
permanent resident, who is traveling overseas and is not in
possession of a valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card or other
evidence of lawful permanent resident status, may use this form to
apply for a Travel Document within one year of his or her last
departure from the United States. The lawful permanent resident
must submit the application in person at a U.S. Embassy or U.S.
Consulate. The decision on Form I-131A is entirely discretionary
and may not be appealed. Furthermore, DHS may revoke or terminate a
Travel Document at any time. If the Form I-131A is approved, DOS or
DHS will issue a Travel Document, generally valid for 30 days,
which will allow the lawful permanent resident to board a vessel or
aircraft, travel to the United States, and present him or herself
at a U.S. port-of-entry for inspection as a returning lawful
permanent resident. A Travel Document is not a guarantee of
admission or other form of entry into the United States, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will carry out all required
inspection procedures upon the alien’s arrival at a U.S. port of
entry.
