Hello, my parents are currently in the US and want to apply for a re-entry permit since they want to go to India in November but can only come back to USA after 2 years. However, their green card expires in Jan 2017. I have a couple of question s-
1. If I apply for the re-entry permit now, will they receive it given that their green card is expiring in Jan 2017?
2. Do they need to be in the US to renew the green card or can they renew it from India?
Thank you!
 
1. pretty much
2. they can re-enter the US on the re-entry permit and then renew the card from the US
