I plan to apply for my first reentry permit within the next few months. I cannot stay for the biometrics appointment but I plan to return for it. The instructions for I-131 stay that the application would be considered abandoned if you leave the US before the biometrics. My lawyer similarly told me that I need to stay until after the biometrics. I am still really hoping to not have to stay, as it would be very difficult. I would greatly appreciate if anybody could share their knowledge and experiences.

As long as someone checks your mail and lets you know when to return for the bio, you'll be ok.
In case of urgent traveling before you get your bio appointment letter. You can schedule quick appointment with an immigration officer through infopass.
The immigration officer will write your name and adress on a template of an appointment letter.
Then, you can have your Bio taken ASAP in a USCIS application support center.
Good luck.

do you have to be in the US to apply via infopass? I am thinking of this situation:
1. apply online for a re-entry permit form India
2. processing takes a week or so, i get a date for biometrics that is 2 week away
3. travel to US 10 days from now, get the biometrics done.
4. return back to India a couple of days later.
5. collect rp at the consulate in India.
is this feasible?

No.do you have to be in the US to apply via infopass?
You need to be in the US when applying for the reentry permit (including the date when USCIS receives the application). If they realize you were outside the US at the time you applied, they will either reject the application or void the permit later.1. apply online for a re-entry permit form India
