Will I lose my papers If I go to my country of origin to renew my passport?

The danger of a political refugee even with permanent residence renewing the passport of the persecuting country is that it raises questions in the mind of immigration officers of whether the individual really had a bona fide fear of the authorities in the home country. The best advice is to wait until you become a US citizen before returning to your home country. Then you can travel as a US citizen under the protection of the United States.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
