The "travel document" I'm referring to applies to anyone who NEEDS one. Yes, they CAN help.

 

Quote

This application allows individuals in this situation to apply for a Travel Document (Transportation Letter or Boarding Foil). If the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) determines that the applicant remains an LPR or conditional LPR, DHS may, as a matter of discretion on a case by case basis, provide a Travel Document. The Travel Document may be a foil placed in the applicant’s passport or a boarding letter. If DHS provides a Travel Document, the applicant may present the document to the carrier destined for the United States. Generally, a Travel Document is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance.

 

 

Yes, it SAYS LPR, but they CAN help her, IF that help is needed

 

Don't be afraid to ask - but YOU are there doing the legwork. Go with the flow of what they tell you and you should be okay.

The quoted information makes it clear that the individual seeking a transportation letter or boarding foil needs to be an LPR or conditional LPR; that clearly does not apply to this case.  Besides -- it isn't needed.  She already has documentation that will get her on a plane (passport with visa and current I-20).  Immigration at the POE can verify her EAD if they want/need to.o

Hello - I am currently traveling in Canada with my friend who is on this exact same sort of visa and also lost her EAD card tonight. We are trying to figure out next steps and came across this thread. Could you please let us know how your friend resolved her issue? Thank you so much

Hi Jackb, 

sorry that happened to your friend. My friend's reentry experience was actually very easy - and we both believed she lucked out. The officer didn't even ask for her EAD card and simply checked her I-20. 

 

She did prepare a lot of documents besides I-20 and passport just in case

- Proof of employment

- print out of the EAD card

- EAD approval notice

- the paper EAD card was attached to

 

Hope I could be more helpful. Best of luck to your friend.
