would it be possible for the son of a refugee travel back to his home country?

I am a Colombian citizen of 22 years of age, and I was brought to the US when I was only 14. Soon after my parents arrived to this country with us, their children, my father petitioned/applied for political asylum. In our case, he is the main victim, and pretty much the whole case refers to him. We, the whole family recently were granted political asylum and received the status of refugees … I miss my home country to death, and was wondering if it would be possible for my to travel back to Colombia under the status of refugee … I’m just a beneficiary we could say.

This is a good question for the immigration authorities who granted your parents political asylum.

You will want to know that if you travel home you will not be detained somehow because of your connection to your father (who obviously was in danger).

  5. Yes, you can. However, you will travel as a citizen of Colombia. The United States will have nothing to do with you should you get into any kind of trouble. You will be 100% on your own.
