Cruise travel on TPS?
I have unexpired Ukrainian passport and multi entry visa to USA. I have granted TPS because my visit expired on September 18. Can I travel on the cruise to Mexico from Los Angeles for one week without re-entry permit?
A person on TPS will require an advance parole travel document to leave and return to the US to maintain TPS.
Is my answer "BEST ANSWER" and/or "HELPFUL"? If so, please acknowledge and mark it so. Mr. Smith has 25 years of successful U.S. immigration law experience with cases just like yours. Still, his response is general in nature, as all the facts are unknown to him, and cannot be construed as legal advice. Please retain immigration counsel to analyze your particular situation in order to receive specific advice. Specific answers requires knowledge of all the pertinent facts of your case. Any answers offered by Mr. Smith on Avvo are of a general nature only, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
You need a travel document that is available to you by form I-131 to leave and return to the US while maintaining TPS. Going to the Caribbean is leaving the US, and normal travel rules apply. Leave without the travel document and you may not return.
