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.

The fee for Form I-131A has
been separated from the fee for Form I-131. For consistency with
this separation and in order to avoid confusion, Form I-131A has
been retitled Form I-131A, Application for Carrier Documentation.
Changes were made to allow non-immigrants traveling abroad on an
Advance Parole Document (Form I-512 or I-512L) or Employment
Authorization Documents with travel endorsement (Form I-766), to
apply for Carrier Documentation where their documents have been
lost, stolen, or damaged overseas. The addition creates a formal
process for lost, stolen, or damaged Advance Parole
Documents/Employment Authorization Documents with travel
endorsement, which currently does not exist.
