Can an LPR(GREEN CARD HOLDER) apply for a two year re-entry permit from any state in the U S A?. What will be the time taken for biometric application. Will it vary from state to state?
You can apply from anywhere (the forms are processed centrally) and the times should be the same. It takes a few weeks for the biometric unless you can demonstrate some emergent reason.
I have a GC since Oct 04, I got transferred out of my US branch to India office in Feb 07 and took a reenetry permit. I entered US with GC + reentry permit in May 09 and came back to India in Jun 09.
Do I still have a chance to file N-470 now under "Necessary to protect prop rights of an American firm engaged in Foreign Trade", now that it's been it hasn't been one year, since I last left US under GC category?
If you are absent from US from one year post GC, does it disqualify you forever for applying N-470? What if I go stay in the US for 1 year?
From what I recall (read the instructions on the Form) you could file N-470 only if you stayed in USA for one year without any international travel. I see no reason why you cannot do so now.
I got DV 2010 visa, but I am currently still studying in foreign university till September 2010. I decided to come here for 2 weeks, leaving school for a while to process the green card. Would I be able to visit US, just to taking care of the issue and request a reentry permit at the same time, so that I could enter US permanently after I graduate?
This appears to be a classical case where a reentry permit is a good choice. There is an event (graduation) that is keeping you out for a certain length of time. I do not practice in DV area so I have no clue if there is something you need to worry about in that respect. You will of course have to be in USA to apply for a reentry permit and biometrics.
I am DV 2010 actually working in a gulf country and I m not expecting to get beter situation in the USA with the actual recesion. My plan is to go t0 united states for a month to activate my green card and my wife's as well. In the same time I would like to apply for a reentry permit. I have few questions and I will be very gratefull if you could answer to me.
1-Is it possible to apply for rentry permit before receiving the green card?
2-If not is it possible to apply only with the ssn?
3-Do I have to apply for my son who is only two years old?
4-How long does it take to finish with biometrics
I have no clue about any special issues for DV folks. But the general law of reentry permit is this. If you have received approval of green card and entered USA, you can apply. USCIS can expedite biometrics if you have a good reason.

I have utilized the services of Attorney Rajiv Khanna many times over the last 10 years and have 100% of the time been satisfied with the prompt, expert, and swift handling of the H1B and Green Card applications. Most recently I took over a very complicated immigration situation when I took over as the Chief Operating Officer for CCOM Medical Group. I was faced with an employee that was out of status and her whole immigration process had been mishandled by numerous attorney’s over several years. Rajiv’s staff quickly put together a plan, researched all the potential obstacles we could potentially run into, and executed parallel applications for an H1B visa and green card. The end result was obtaining an approved H1B visa for my employee and H-4 for her son along with an approved I-140 so that as her priority date comes up later this year she can get her green card. We are all very happy and appreciative of the fine work Rajiv and his staff did for our employee and CCOM Medical Group. In my ten year history in working with Rajiv he has never, ever, let me down and he and his staff are always conscious of ensuring I have the appropriate expected outcome in mind and am fully aware of any downside to a situation before it happens. I like to make informed decisions and Rajiv allows me to do that. Anyone reading my comments is more than welcome to contact me at (918) 683-0753.
