I-131: Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records
What this form is for
These USCIS forms cover green cards, work permits, travel papers, and other immigration requests. Each form has its own fee and its own way to file. The blank form and official instructions are free at uscis.gov.
About this form
- Who it is for
- People who need a travel document: advance parole, re-entry permit, or refugee travel document, before leaving the U.S.
- How filing works
- Filed with USCIS. Traveling without the right document can abandon a pending adjustment or your status, so this usually comes before the trip is booked.
- What WhyFill does for you
- WhyFill walks you through which document you need in plain language and fills the I-131 with your details prefilled.
