Question about I-131!

Hi guys-

I am an American citizen and I applied for adjustment of status for my husband. He already received his employment authorization card, as well as the interview letter. However, I am pretty confused about his application for travel document.

In the initial package that we sent to USCIS, we also included an I-131 application. We requested a travel document because his national passport is expired and it take a long time to renew it through the countrys consulate in Chicago.

In regard to the application mentioned above, he received I-512L, authorization for parole of an alien into the United States, and according to what I read this form is valid for a temporarily travel outside of the United States until his adjustment of status will take place.

Well, my question is: Once his adjustment of status is finalized and he receives his greencard, is he going to receive another travel document, such as a reentry permit? I find it hard to believe that we paid so much money just to receive this one time, temporary authorization for parole.

Any response is going to be greatly appreciated!

Once he receives his GC he will no longer need AP as the GC allows the (now) permanent resident to travel outside of the US.

The AP should not have cost you any money as it should have been free provided you filed for it along with his AOS documents.

when he gets his green card he can use it to travel , there is no need for another document

I really dont understand what you are saying. How can you travel outside of the United States with the green card only? It is my understanding that in addition to the greencard, you need a passport or a travel document of some sort...
