DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Hello everybody

A quick question regarding the Re-Entry Permit form I-131.
I’m currently planning to leave the US1 within the next days.
To file for the permit you have to be physically present in the US at the time of filling, but when is it considered filed?

Can I just mail it, make sure it has been delivered by USPS and leave?
Or do I have to wait for USCIS to give me a case number, which take times with Covid delays.

Anyone who can share his or her experience with a rentry permit is welcome to do so!

God bless you all.

Benjamin.

You know you’ll need to come back for biometrics, right?

They always request this list to check the plaintiff's files, and try to find anything to tell the judge that the delay is from plaintiff's side (ds260 not processed, some documents were not sent ... etc) and ask the judge to dismiss the case.

The same happened in our case so this is normal move, not a power move from the lawyer

Thanks Susie!

Yes I know about the biometrics thanks.
Is mom sure about it? I mean it’s not that i question her knowledge in immigration, just that I’ve only seen her with DV so I didn’t know she knows other areas in immigration.

god bless you all

What part are you not sure about? It seems pretty self evident to me.
 
BenjaminUSA said:
The part where she says that leaving before receiving the NOA won’t lead to a refusal (if the application is properly filed).
That’s why I was asking is she is sure about it.
Thanks

The properly filed date is the same for all types of documents (as described on uscis pages, I don’t have inclination to search for the reference on my phone right now). Why would a delay in sending a paper copy matter? If you file online you get the electronic receipt notice long before the (identical) paper copy for example, often almost instantly. What will get you denied is not being here for bio.

Re entry permit (form I-131) can’t be filed online that’s why I was asking if they consider the application filed when they received it at their office or when they issue me a case number because case number issuance is delayed due to Covid.

I still don’t see why you think a delay in paper mail makes a difference, it’s the principle not what you can and can’t file online that I was trying to illustrate, but stay if you are worried. In that case I’m surprised that you don’t take literally the instructions to not leave before bio despite that many have successfully done that as long as they come back for bio.

Ok I get it, thanks Susie for your valuable time.
I may follow what mom said, mailing, leaving, waiting and returning.

God bless you

Hey,this is very important info.Were you in some dv2021 litigagion caseAnunciato or some else)?(i see that you are dv2021)
 
I knew that this will happen.These was the plan from the beginning.Next step is consolidation which will happen no mater what lawyers say,and in the end no one will get visa,maybe 0,001 percent.And of course,there will be nothing from reservation of visas because he has no power to do such thing.And as we can see he is not busy,that was a fairytale from lawyers.Curtis with his low to no fee policy destroyed us all.i want my money back.
