I have a similar case and can not find information. In my Colombian passport, the american consulate renewed my American visa on September 2013 for 10 years.
I arrived to Canada as a refugee and now I am a permanent resident but I can not travel with the Colombian passport .
The Canadian government issued me a travel document and they retained my passport and the American visa attached.
The following is my question :

  • What do I have to do to re-enter to the United States with the travel document that doesn’t have the American visa ?
  • Would they put the same visa that is still active or do have to make the application process again ?
    i live in Montreal.
    thank you
