Dear friends,
I am ready to file for removal of condition shortly. However I am encountering a unique situation that I want my more experienced friends to please comment on. This past April my company scrapped my position and I was let go. I looked for job here in US but things are unusually cold out here at this point. In the meantime, I got an offer from an overseas company with great career prospects. Keeping in mind my own as well as my family's interest I am accepting that offer.
Now this poses some issues. I have to leave in next 2 weeks (June 20th). My 90 day period for filing for I 751 starts on June 18th. Once I file I understand the biometrics is typically done with in a month. Suppose say by July 18th.
The overseas assignment is for an extended period of time and to be on the safe side I have filed for reentry permit, i.e. I-131 (I might hang on to this job for more than a year). My biometric is already done for I-131. The big issue that I am facing is that I will have to fly back all the way to I-751 biometrics around July 18th.
Does any of you know that biometrics that was done for I-131 would suffice for I-751 as well? Or, I have to fly in for I-751 biometrics, no matter what. Even if they have my fingerprints and photos current on USCIS's file.
Please share your thoughts. I am really puzzled over this.
Btw, I am moving to Singapore and coming back to US just for biometrics would be a big hassle, not to talk of taking time off within 1st month of the new job.
Really appreciate your time.
Thanks!
