Question Re entry permit

I have a green card since jan '03. I have been abroad from may '05 to april '07 visiting USA once in Nov '05. I have a valid re entry permit before leaving USA and it expires on Sept '07.
I want to apply for a new re entry permit. The govt website says that "u need to be in USA to apply for a new re entry permit and also send the old permit with the application for new one".
My question was, can I apply for a new re entry permit before the old one expires. Like mine expires on Sept '07. So can I apply in April 07 and send the still valid permit with the application for a new one. I have to apply now as I will be unable to travel/ come to USA after April '07 to April '08.

Pl advise.

Yes you can. Just send in your old REP with your application as stated in the instructions

Applying for new re-entry permit

Hi -

My re-entry permit is expiring in June 2007. I will be going to US in mid-April for a business trip, and was planning to apply for a new re-entry permit (REP) at that time.

Problem is that if I send in my current REP with the new REP application, then can I travel again to US even if I have not received my new re-entry permit by then?....I may have to visit US again for business around July-August.

Thanks.

Obviously, you've been absent from US for a long time. You might get into a big trouble at the POE without the re-entry permit. The entry officer can mark it on their computer that you have abandoned the residence.
