USCIS proposes revisions to Form I-131 to remove ability to request an employment authorization document for those with an approved new period of parole (re-parole)

  1. Original Date Announced

    July 23, 2025

    USCIS issued a notice of proposed changes to Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. Form I-131 is used to apply for a reentry permit, refugee travel document, TPS travel authorization document, advance parole document, initial parole document for a noncitizen outside the United States, and an arrival/departure record for parole in place and re-parole for a noncitizen inside the United States.

    The proposed revision seeks to remove Part 9, "Employment Authorization For New Period of Parole (Re-parole)," from the form and instructions. This section currently allows individuals to request an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) upon approval of their new period of parole (re-parole).

    Comments will be accepted until September 22, 2025.
