USCIS Travel Document is a travel document issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to eligible non-U.S. citizen residents. It is a green passport-like booklet with the words Travel Document, a symbol, and other official wording in blue-gray.
To obtain a travel document, applicants must file Form I-131 and undergo biometric data collection while in the United States (usually before departure). This process incurs a fee and can take months or even years. Alternatively, applicants can choose to collect their documents from a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad after completing biometric data collection.
