Zero.u00a0 An I-131 is merely an application for a travel document.u00a0 It does not allow you to enter the United States, even after it is filed.u00a0 There are several different kinds of travel documents that you can request with an I-131.u00a0 Which type of travel document you will be eligible for depends mostly on your status in the U.S. - nonimmigrant, immigrant, nonimmigrant pending adjustment of status, refugee, asylee, asylum applicant, etc..u00a0 You gave us no information about your status in the U.S., so it is impossible to guess which type of travel document you might be eligible for.The three main types of documents you might try to apply for with an I-131 are a re-entry permit, a refugee travel document, or an advance parole document.u00a0 Re-entry permits are for most permanent residents, refugee travel documents are for refugees and asylees.u00a0 Both are usually good for unlimited U.S. entries until they expire.u00a0 An advance parole document is for nonimmigrants, including applicants for asylum and people with pending adjustment of status applications.u00a0 Advance parole documents are often limited to one or two entries, although some allow more.u00a0 It will often depend on the facts and evidence alleged in the I-131.It can never be emphasized enough that any of these three documents are not not not guarantees of entry to the United States.u00a0 All they do is permit the CBP officer to allow the holder to enter the U.S.A. without violating 8 INA 212(a)(7) (documentation requirements).u00a0 The CBP officer can still deny the alien entry for any of the oodles of other reasons set forth in the Immigration and Nationality Act: suspected immigrant intent, crimes of moral turpitude, drug dealing, prior removal, prostitution, polygamy, and on and on and on.As always, consult an immigration lawyer for advice on your specific case.
