Reentry Permit 10 y green card holder

[ros88 12]

Can a reentry permit be denied after fingerprints were taken?

Do they deny the application before fingerprints or after?

 

Asking these questions because I have applied last october,

My fingerprints were taken on january.

Still waiting for my permit.

Left the US in May.

 

It's my first time applying for it, but in the past I had to leave the US multiple times in order to take care of my family in Italy.

 

I have just left the US after 7 months there.

 

 

I am planning to go back home to the US first week of August.

Should I be ok when entering again in August?

 

I have a house, a business and a husband in the US.

But a lot of history of travelling unfortunately.

 

This is should be my last time overseas for longtime.

 

Any feedback would be very appreciated!

Thank you!

Any USCIS petition can be denied up to the point of favorable adjudication and even then I’ve seen cases of USCIS reneging. 
 

You don’t need a re-entry permit anyway.  See https://www.aila.org/File/Related/18110604b.pdf

Just follow the instructions and you will be fine.

I read the form, but as I wrote, not this time but in the past I traveled overseas for long time and last time I entered the US (7 months ago) they told me to get a reentry permit for next time because of my history.

 

This time I have been in the US for 7 months waiting for the permit, and I left just a week ago, still waiting for the permit but worring about reentering without my reentry permit in August.

I have all my life in the US (Husband, business, house...) but because of my travel history I am really afraid.

1. Why does your timeline show adjustment of status pending? Are you a 10 year LPR or not?

 

2. Looking at your post history, 

 says you have been out of the country 2 years in 5. That by itself isn't sufficient for an Immigration judge to revoke your LPR status. I am not sure why CBP is telling you to get an re-entry permit. 

3. That said, you were in the USA 7 straight months. You left without your re-entry permit. If you ready to come home in August, you should come home with or without the re-entry permit.  In August if will be 10 months after applying. If you haven't received the re-entry permit, then I don't know what CBP expects you do. You have a family emergency and you followed CBP's instructions. CBP's sister agency can't process a simple document that takes 5 minutes to print and send in the mail.

 

4. Re-entry permit or not, nothing prevents a secondary inspection. Nothing prevents CBP from pressuring you to sign an I-407. Just say no.

 

5. Worst case you will lose your LPR status in immigration court. You accepted that risk when you left the USA without the re-entry permit.

Thank you and let me explain to you:

 

1-Yes I am a 10 years green card holder , I dont know how to update my status in the forum.

 

3-There are some delays due to the Covid, that's why is taking this long but my question is,there is a chance to be denied because of my travel history?

as I told you I have everything in the US (husband,house,business) and I have been home for 7 straight months and I applied as they asked me.

I dont know what to do more than this.

 

5- I do not want to lose my status, I had an emergency but I have all my life in the US.

I am just trying to have some feedback from someone that had a similar experience.

 

Thank you!

haha they told us that too after being out 11 months.  On a conditional card.  I asked the dude why would we apply for a two year travel document when the green card doesn’t even have a year of validity.

 

Nobody said anything after we left and came back 5 months later.  We got waved thru.

 

We were out 4 YEARS and still got an SB1 to come back.  If:  You are still married, have a home, and you still qualify for immediate immigration benefits plus you APPLIED for a travel document before you travelled which is de facto proof that you do not intend to abandon residence it will be next to impossible to lose your green card. 
 

Try to keep it under 6 months, definitely undet a year, you won’t lose your green card.  Do not, under any circumstance, surrender it.  Ask for a hearing, always.  Only a judge in a court can take it.

I’d check on that travel document.  9 months is ridiculous.

It is like that.

They just changed the timeline for this document from 5 to 10.5 months.

 

[ros88 12]

It has been 9 months.... and still dont have any news about my reentry permit!!!

 

I will be back to the US in August (so it will be 3 months out of the country thus way).

but in the past I have been out of the country for long times thats why I cannot wait for my reentry permit in order to go back home without any trouble at the port of entry!!

 

I can't believe USCIS is taking this long!

Anyone in my same situation ?

 

Thanks!
