hi all,

i have applied for re-entry permit for my son in oct 92 and he departed US same month . still it is not approved. i called ins
customer service and asked them what will happen if it is not
approved before oct 93. they said he should come back to US if
it is not approved within 1 year.

then i called nebraska service center last week to know the
status. she said that it will take 1 year to process re-entry cases.
again i asked same question like what will happen if it is not
approved before oct 93. she said that he has to come back to US.
i don't understand the purpose of re-entry permit now. wasted
around 100 dollars and energy.

just wanted to share this information with you guys.

regards,
muru
 
Iam also planning to applyfor reentry permit and leave US next month for 18 months
My questions are
1.Will I have to return within 6 months if I don't get the reentry permit[according to 182 day rule]
2.I know that I have to be in US fro applying for reentry permit.Should I wait for the receipt notice from INS before leaving US.Can I just apply and leave next week?
Please reply Joe F and muru
Thanks in advance
 
Thank u very much-Joe F another clarification

I had read earlier in one of ur posts that you should be prepared for more questioning when u are coming back after 180 days.Hope the explanation that I have appliecd for reentry permit will be satisfactory at POE-
 
based on my experience, my advice is to apply for re-entry permit
and go to your country. if it is not approved within one year then
come to US for a short trip and go back again. in second trip you can show your re-entry permit (if it is approved by then) so that
you don't face any problem at POE.

i think it is very unusual to take such a long time to approve
these cases. they used to approve re-entry permits in 2 to 4
months.
 
Thank u very much-Joe F and muru1-question to muru1

Can u share the plans u are going to follow regarding your son's
problem.Are u planning to bring him here for a short visit?Do you
anticipate any problem at the POE for your son?

Thank u very much.The fact that it is taking such a long time for approval is not our problem.May be they will take that into consideration.2 more questions if it is not too much of trouble

1.How many days after he applied for reentry permit did your son leave US?
2.How long will it take to get the receipt from INS telling that they have recieved our application.
 
BCIS' own estimate for reentry permit processing is 320 to 355 business days (or 15 to 17 months).

that time then I am planning to bring him here.

I think I applied 2 to 3 weeks before he left and I got receipt in 2 weeks.

Charak, Would you mind sharing the reasons for leaving? I am confused with what to mention as a reason.
