It's been more than 100 days since I applied re-entry permit for my wife. She gave FP two months back and left the country. Why do they delay for this long? Any idea?
 
It's common for it to take as long as 6 months. Maybe they give the processing a low priority because the fact that you applied for it means you're intending to stay outside the US for a long time, and you won't need it to return to the US in the near future anyway.
 
Jackolantern, thanks..I agree with you. What if they reject her re-entry permit after 6 months? I gave my US address to receive re-entry permit. I'm moving to different city next week. If I file AR-11, will it trigger any FP? Just curious.
 
AR-11 won't trigger FP. But you'll need to update USCIS to change the RP address (AR-11 won't update the RP address).
 
I've applied for my Father-in-laws reentry permit (From NJ) and we have not even recieved appointment letter for FP. Any ides of ho long it takes for FP appointment letter to come in. We applied end of June, chk was cashed 1st week of July.
 
approved!

USCIS processed and mailed my wife's re-entry permit on 29th Friday (took 101 days). The previous day 28th night I have submitted online AR-11 and pending case change of address. I'm really nervous. Will it goto my old address or new address? Thanks.

Got FP notice for Aug 17 at Elizabeth, NJ center on Sat Jul 30. Now would anyone be knowing how long does it take for the reentry permit to arrive after FP?
My father-in-law does not intend to leave US without having actual Permit in hand. Just wanted to have a rough idea so that we can book return ticket.
 
You can expect end of October. My wife got re-entry permit 67 days after she gave FP.

Hi skp19722003 - How long did you wait (after you sent in the application) for the USCIS letter informing you of your biometrics appointment? Which service center did this letter come from? Vermont/California/Nebraska/Dallas? Which lockbox did you send your application to?

Hi sanket_82 - Looks like you received your biometrics letter in 3 weeks. Which service center was the letter issued from? Which lockbox did you send your application to?
 
My wife did FP on June 5th 2011 and its more that 90 days now she didnt get re-entry permit yet. she is out of country as well. anyone any idea how long this will take.
Thanks

We mailed out the application on July 5th and got biometrics letter on Jul 30. the FP appointment date is Aug 17. We live in NJ so I think (don't remember exactly) we mailed the application to Vermont or Texas.

A re-entry permit is not required in order to depart as long as the fingerprinting is done (and hopefully they were good prints). If it has not been mailed yet she could ask to have it delivered abroad for pick-up at a consulate of overseas USCIS office.
