Re-entry permit cover letter

Hello all,

My husband and I have to apply for our re-entry permits quickly. We are leaving for India in 6 weeks. We're going for family reasons and may stay for a long while, coming back only to apply for citizenship and its interview.
We complete 5 yrs of GC in May 2009.

Does anyone have a sample cover letter when applying for I-131? Do you need one?

Is it wise to state that we are going for family/personal reasons (on the form and letter)? Is it going to pose problems when we come back for citizenship? Will employment be considered a stronger reason than family?

Too many questions, I know, but this forum is the only good one I know to ask questions.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Another related question

Hello once again,

I know the fee for re-entry permit is $305 per person. Do you pay a separate fee for the biometrics? How much is it and should it be given in a separate check?

Thanks again

If leave for more than a year it might break the continous presence requirement for applying for citizenship. Since you have completed 5 years why not apply for citizenship and postpone your return to India by another year or so.
 
Personal reason

Hello,

Unfortunately we cannot do that for personal reasons.
I did find out the answer to my 2nd question, that you have to pay $385 together in 1 check..
If anyone can answer the qts in the 1st mail it would be helpful.

Also, can anyone tell me what is the intended length of stay we should mention? Should we just say 6 months?

THanks

I think now you have to go for Fingerprints for Reentry permit
If you think the Reentry may not come to US address in 6 weeks then you can write US Consulate address out of US and your home address on I-131 form so that after reentry permit is approved it can be sent to US consulate
 
Trips < 1 year do not need re-entry permit

Why in the world u would apply for a re-entry permit when your trips is less than 6 months. Trips greater than 6 months will affect your status towards Citizenship.
