Those are my travel documents. I did not have a passport since I fled Burma. The mug shot picture was taken at the Bangkok Immigration Detention Center. Thai government sentenced me for an illegal entry to the country. I believe I was fined for that crime (the sponsor NGO paid the fine, I guess.) and ordered to leave Thailand. At the same time, the US immigration issued a one way entry parole visa (based on humanitarian ground). Welcome to America!
: ) I have exactly the paper, and once I showed that to my office friends telling that that was my passport to America, and they responded with disbelieving eyes.
