As a refugee or asylee in the United States, you should strongly consider applying for a refugee travel document if you plan to travel outside of the U.S. Leaving the United States without a refugee travel document can result in an inability to reenter the country or can result in getting placed in removal proceedings.
In this guide, I’ll explain everything you need to know about the refugee travel document fee. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me directly at Michael@AshooriLaw.com
Getting a refugee travel document is a 2-step process. You must first file a Form I-131 with USCIS and then you must attend a biometric services appointment. Each of these steps has a fee associated with it. I’ll explain each fee below.
The Form I-131 is the Application for Travel Document. This is the form required to apply for a refugee travel document. USCIS charges a filing fee to review and process this form along with the entire refugee travel document application. The correct filing fee will depend on the age of the person applying for the refugee travel document.
In addition to filing the Form I-131, to get a refugee travel document, you must also attend a biometrics appointment. The biometrics appointment typically takes place at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC). At this appointment your digital fingerprints will be taken.
The biometrics fee is $85. This fee is only required for people who are 14 years of age up to 79 years of age.
Here are some helpful pointers for how to pay the refugee travel document fee:
If you are in the U.S. with refugee or asylee status, and you plan to leave the country, you should strongly consider applying for a refugee travel document. Without a refugee travel document, you may be unable to reenter the country or may face removal proceedings.
The process of getting a refugee travel document can be complicated and stressful. If you need help with your refugee travel document, please feel free to email me at Michael@AshooriLaw.com. I’d be happy to help you.

1722466114 Ashoori Law is the best. I’m really recommending everyone. 1721978093Hands down, Ashoori Law is a firm that you can rely on. As a greencard holder working abroad, It can be quite a struggle to do your own legwork in applying for a travel document especially in these . trying times with the pandemic. I tried looking up other lawfirms that could help me but found that they seemed more interested to engage me in a chargeable phone consultation rather than answer my questions. Then I came across Ashoori's Youtube channel with videos providing valuable information and updates on immigration laws and that's when I decided to look them up on Facebook to learn more about them. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that you can actually book a free phone consultation with them and so I did. They will explain everything clearly and answer all your questions so that you can decide for yourself and weigh out if your situation calls for their service. Sign up was so simple and the guidance with the documentations were so easy to follow. A sharp contrast to the time when I did my own filing, where I had to book an appointment with a USCIS field office only to find that they don't accept applications there. I've had to do the runs to review the tediously worded process from the USCIS website, print documents, mail them and hope that it gets through without hitting a snag (it did). With Ashoori Law, I definitely felt represented and truly was by a professional team that kept me posted and were very responsive to my questions. I've had a recent change of address which they quickly filed for me at no extra cost. All I had to do was wait until my travel document was granted which I received in the mail via express courier. Great value for professional services from beginning to end. Easy to engage with. A big thanks to the Ashoori team for getting me through this process free of stress. Folks, save yourself from pain. Get representation from Ashoori Law! read more
