A:
Yes, you can file Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) and Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) together in the same envelope as an asylee. When you file these forms concurrently, it can help streamline the process since both are part of your adjustment of status application. Be sure to include all the required supporting documents for each form and ensure that you pay the correct fees or provide the necessary fee waiver requests if applicable.
While the USCIS website might seem confusing, combining these forms in one package is commonly done. However, it is crucial to double-check the instructions for each form. Make sure that the forms are completed correctly, signed, and that all required documents are included to avoid any delays in processing.
Remember to keep a copy of everything you send for your records. It's also a good idea to use a method of mailing that provides tracking and confirmation of delivery, so you have proof that your application package was received by USCIS. This way, you have peace of mind knowing your application is in process.
