My spouse applied for RE permit in the fall 2010, after us being out of the US due to his ill parent for about 3 months....His application for permit for reasons of an ill parent. Within a few weeks of applying our own child was not doing well either medically, so we stayed in the US since then (still here now and probably till the end of summer). My spouse was gone for about a month dealing with the illness/funeral in February.
Well, the RE permit came today, dated March 2011-March 2013.
Question~The original purpose for premit was for the parent-now he has passed. Everything is sort of a mess (adminisration wise, dealing with aftermath of death, going through papers, wills etc etc...etc)...which still has to be dealt with. Due to our child, we may not go back till the end of the summer...May at that point stay for 9 months or so....to iron everything out...(I should add he is eligible for citizen if he wants it to apply in May 2012)...
Questions:
1. Does this RE permit document actually get shown INSTEAD of the passport at POE or do you show both??? Do you always have to show this once you start using it (if yes)??
2. Obviously my FIL died...but Honestly it is going to take forever deal with all of that...Is 'dealing with your father's affairs etc upon death' reasonalbe for them to cover under this RE when they do ask??
Just wondering..it has been a crazy few years...want smooth sailing in the next year..
