How long is it taking to get a biometrics appointment these days?  In the beginning of COVID, the times were all over the place

Unfortunately we still have not heard back. However, it has only been a little over 2 months, hoping we hear back after the holidays soon!

So, I could see this update for my I-131 application, this morning.

'As of July 22, 2021, fingerprints relating to your Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, Receipt Number LINXXX, have been applied to your case. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.'.

So considering, I came into US, 5 weeks back, can I travel out of US now and get the return permit shipped to me, as and when I receive the same?

My application is pending with 'Nebraska Service Center' and am worried how long will this take. I was planning my return with re-entry permit. 


Does pending re-entry permit application help getting admitted back to US?

I have been staying outside of US for 8+ months now, and my re-entry permit is pending decision since 07/22/21.

Should I have to wait for my re-entry permit OR can I risk traveling now?

Please advise.

I returned back to states a week back. But my re-entry permit application is still pending with NSC. It's been 9+ months now. 

Any here got their re-entry permit in the recent past? Is there any way we can expedite this process? 

Please advise.

I applied June 2020.  Got my reentry permit January 2022.

That's quite a lot of time. Almost 18+ months. Which processing center was this?

My application for re-entry permit is pending since 07/01/2021 at NSC. It's been 10+ months now.

When I see the case processing times, I see ONLY 'refugee travel document' and 'advance parole' timelines. There is NO mention of 're-entry permit' timelines. Any reason for this?

Also, looking at the timelines can any here, please help me with approximate time for my re-entry application to be processed?

Hi. Did you have any problem on passport control? You were outside the US more than 7 months. What did the officer ask you? What did you answer?

They asked me where I had been and what was the reason for the travel. I said that it was personal visit and the delay was coz of the pandemic related restrictions.
