U.S. BOARDING FOIL / TRANSPORTATION LETTER
In
general, a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) is required to present a valid Form
I-551, Permanent Resident Card (also known as a “green card”) when seeking
admission into the United States. Form I-551 is the primary evidence of
an alien’s LPR status. The bearer may use this card, in conjunction with
his or her national passport, and any other appropriate documentation, to board
a U.S. bound flight and apply for admission to the United States. In cases in
which the LPR does not in possession of a valid Form I-551 (Green Card) or a passport with a valid Alien Documentation
and Identification System (ADIT) stamp demonstrating LPR status, the alien may
seek to obtain temporary evidence of his/her status.
Consular Section of U.S.
Embassy, Dhaka can issue “boarding foils” to
qualified Lawful Permanent Residents, conditional Lawful Permanent Residents
and Lawful Permanent Residents who were issued a re-entry permit applying to
replace lost or stolen green cards overseas.
You must apply for a boarding foil within (12)
months after departing the United States. Before applying, please make an airline
reservation as a boarding foil is only valid for
thirty (30) days from the date of issuance. Also, you need to pay $360 fee online prior to your interview date.
Please do not make any final departure plans
to the United States until you have
your boarding foil in hand. If you
have been outside the United States for a year or more and did not obtain a Reentry Permit, you have
lost your LPR status. In that case, you would
not be eligible for a boarding foil.
Issuances
The
consular officer will inform you as to how and when to pick up your passport
with the issued boarding foil. Generally, successful applicants receive
their passports back within three working days. The Consular Officer
determines the passport delivery date based on travel itinerary.
Refusals
During
the interview with the Consular Officer, you should demonstrate your
eligibility for this service given all of the facts and circumstances. No
written decision is required in cases where the applicant is refused this
service. Some applicants may be found permanently or temporarily ineligible to
enter the United States. In these cases, the Consular Officer will
explain why you are ineligible.
Additional Processing
Some
applications require additional processing. While we realize the
associated issuance delays may disrupt your travel plans, we must adjudicate
applications in accordance with the provisions of U.S. laws. We cannot predict
when the boarding foil will be ready. The Consular Officer will provide you
with written instructions as to when to come and collect the boarding foil.
