User Question: Hi all. I am a green card holder (via asylum). My I-131 (travel document) is expired. I want to reapply. Will the travel document take as long as it took the first time? Or will the processing time be shorter? Location: NJ

Expert Answer: As a Green Card holder through asylum, you need to file Form I-131 for a Refugee Travel Document (RTD). Processing times vary but generally remain similar to your first application. Currently, USCIS takes around 6-12 months to process RTDs. Since you are a permanent resident, you should avoid using your home country's passport, as it may affect your asylum status. Check USCIS processing times for the latest updates.
