Thank you so much for your response. 1. Re-entry permit approved but never travelled out of US, will this count towards the lifetime number of re-entry permits one can apply? This is a hypothetical question.

Thank you @Sm1smom! I re-read your reply earlier and I would appreciate the feedback on the following: 1. If applying for a new re-entry permit, the current re-entry permit valid until Aug. 2024 will need to be sent with the new application. There's a possibility of either getting one...

Folks, Would appreciate your feedback as I need to plan for upcoming travel for family member. Thank you!

As per this website: https://www.ashoorilaw.com/blog/reentry-permit-renewal/ It appears that one needs to return the unexpired renetry permit and one cannot apply for a new re-entry permit until there're 60 days left until the current re-entry permit expires.. Am I reading this correctly?

What's the current trend in terms of USCIS requiring biometrics appointments in person and how long is it taking for RP to be approved? Last time applied in Jul 21 and no fingerprints were required, USCIS sent a letter saying at that time, that current biometrics on file will be used.

Friendly bump! I would appreciate your input, ideas on this. Thank you!

Hello folks, I would love to hear your feedback if you have direct experience or general knowledge about this issue. Thank you!

Hello folks, Permanent resident has unexpired re-entry permit and travelled back to US from overseas after an absence of 15 months. Current re-entry permit expired in Aug. 2024. Travel History: After receiving green card, travelled to US for the first time, stayed in US for 8 months or so...

Friendly bump!

Trying to figure out if there's a required form that I may have submitted to USCIS during my immigration journey? I'm note sure if there's any form that's required to be submitted as part of GC processing (I-485), Advance Parole (AP) or N-400 (Application to be become US citizen).. I was...

Thank you @newacct! One more question, in terms of documents needed to file the I-130 petition for siblings, one just needs the birth certificate of the sibling that shows common parent (mother or father)? Also if the sibling is married and has kids, is the marriage certificate or birth...

Thank you @newacct for your reply. I don't know why I thought that affidavit of support was needed at the time of applying for I-130. So if I'm understanding it correctly, here's how the situation may look like: 1. Spouse A (USC) sponsored 2 siblings in 2010 2. Spouse B(USC) sponsored 3 siblings...

Let's put some numbers to make it easy to answer: US Citizen Spouse A: - Income: $120,000 - Overseas Siblings sponsored: 2 - 1 married with 2 kids - 1 unmarried US Citizen Spouse B: - Income : $100,000 - Overseas Siblings sponsored: 3 - 3 married with kids: 2 US Family Size: husband + wife +...

Hello All, I'm trying to figure out if there's an easy online calculator that allows one to input the combined income of husband and wife (both US citizens), the number of kids and then the number of adult siblings and their kids to find out if the income of the sponsoring family is sufficient...

Got it! So the number of REPs doesn't have to be consecutive. One could apply for 1st REP, stay out of US for 2 years, travel to the US, live here for 1-2 years, and if need arises, could apply for a second REP and it would most likely be granted and would not be a problem. Am I following this...

No, the LPR didn't volunteer that he/she is planning to apply for a second re-entry permit. I understand your point, anything said at the immigration counter needs to be weighed before it's said! I personally wouldn't say a word unless asked specifically about something and even then I would be...

Thank you @SusieQQQ! I understand the premise of approved re-entry permit. What I'm trying to figure out is how does this play out when applying for subsequent re-entry permits? How many can one apply in a life time? Theoretically speaking, could one keep applying for 3 re-entry permits in a row...

Thank you @Fin! for your reply. So looks like it's immaterial if there's no gap between two applications or if there's a little (few days to few months) May I ask about applying for a second re-entry permit? Did you enter a simple/short reason for requesting it ..something like "personal" or...

LPR travelled on the first re entry permit before its expiry. Now does LPR need to stay in US for a certain amount before applying for a second re-entry permit? Does it matter if LPR applies for a second re-entry permit say within 3 months of arriving on the first re-entry permit vs 6 months or...

Thank you for your reply! Got it. I have personally never travelled on re-entry permit so wasn't sure what to expect in such a scenario. The only thing that's a little different from LPR's first-ever visit to US on an immigrant visa and this time is the location. For example, first time port of...
