Traveling with an emergency travel document

Upvote:3

The main issues are:

  • ensuring that your I94 record properly records your exit. Check https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/ a few weeks after you leave

  • and if you want to return to the USA with the visa that was in your old, lost passport, you’ll need to get that visa re-issued.

Will exiting USA on an emergency passport cause me problems in travelling back to USA later?

Probably not. There is certainly no legal reason for trouble. There is a possibility that your exit may not be matched to your entry record, but this is an administrative problem, not a legal one. Even so, it would only be a problem if it makes it look like you've overstayed, that is, if you leave before your period of admission expires and return thereafter. This is unlikely for a student, but possible.

If all of these things come to pass, you can correct your records by sending evidence showing you did indeed leave the US to a certain address, so keep your boarding passes and other evidence just in case.
