Form I-131 & Some Inquires

[Huss]

Hi all,

I am a green card holder... I am in U.S since December 25th 2013, and i want to apply a re-entry permit for 2 years because i need to take care of my sick dad as i am the only son in my family.

I have the following inquires:

1) I haven't started a job in U.S since i have entered & I am not going to work in my Home Country as well so do i need to file federal income tax?

2) Form fee is $360 & Biometric fee $85 so total amount is $445.. When i am preparing a check do i need to make two different separate check or just the total amount and under what name the check should be written?

3) My location is Houston where do i need to send my I-131 forms and all the supporting documents as a express courier?

4) Do i have to write the word Expedite in the top right corner of the application form I-131 if i want expedited processing?

5) I will attach a cover letter, the form I-131, Copy of my I-551, GC copy and 2 Photographs ?? What else do i need to attach??

Thank you in advance...
