I posted this in another forum but no replies so I'm hoping I get a better response here....

Hi, we are anticipating being gone but we're not sure it'll be a year yet but in looking up the I-131 form I have a few questions and hope some of you have been or are in the same situation:

1) processing time lines say they're only NOW processing Nov 07 applications! There are instructions for expediting the process by sending pre-paid envelopes but it sounds like they're not even opening apps post Nov 07 yet. Is anyone still waiting?

2) the issue of biometrics - am i really needing to get finger-printed again?? this'll be the 3rd time I'm doing this....!!!

3) I'm still researching to see if there are any options for re-entry in the event I don't make it back within the year (ie. I get pregnant and can't travel and didn't intend to be gone so long) so I'd appreciate any of your experiences if you've been in this situation.

Thanks!
