emergency travel doc
I’m concerned with the new covid variant if you’re granted an emergency travel doc, and you’re outside the US and your country orgin is banned will you have a problem coming back?

Not really. If you have green card or any other permanent residence you can back to US. The problem is to find an airline company from your country to US.

what if you don’t have green card or permenant residency?
Josh bigoshDec 8, 2021
If u don't have residency how can u come back? To get in u must be green card holder, citizen (us passport holder) or any permit to get in the country. Like parole or permit visa

@josh I think maybe @Jay N is referring to the travel bans for example South Africa in the last 14 days. Advanced parole holders aren’t exempted from that presidential order I don’t think?
Josh bigoshDec 8, 2021
I see. The banned works only for tourists and non immigrants visas. If he have parole or any other authorization to live in US he can travel back. The problem is only to find an airline that is flying back from their country to US.

@josh advanced parole is not an exemption to the current proclamation
Josh bigoshDec 8, 2021
So, travel to another country that is not banned and then fly to the US. That's it.

where you from @Jay N
Jay NDec 8, 2021
I am currently going through the process of being a permenant resident. I was granted an emergency travel doc. I am from Nigeria
Jay NDec 8, 2021
There is no ban on Nigeria, I’m asking in the case that there is while I go home, will I have a problem coming back? my travel parole is only good for 30 days
S BDec 8, 2021
You will have a problem if they add Nigeria to the list - you won’t be allowed back in the USA unless you go to another country for 14 days that isn’t on the list. but as you say, it’s not on the list at the moment

@Jay N ohh great!im from South Africa

if you are the spouse of a US citizen you will be allowed back with an Advance parole
Jay NDec 9, 2021
Unforunately, my husband is a green card holder not a citizen yet
S BDec 9, 2021
@jay n. read the link on the proclamation I think a spouse of greencard holder is exempt too?
Jay NDec 9, 2021
oh I must’ve skipped that, thank you so much, yes it does say spouse of a green card holder. would these be the same guidelines for other countries as well?
S BDec 9, 2021
the last few proclamations for different countries have said that, so probably at a guess
