Reentry permit
My husband is a US citizen and was assigned in kuwait,, so we decided to stay in the philippines while his working there for 1yr. Im only a greencard holder and we are in philippines right now for 2 months and planning to go back states to apply re entry visa. My question is is it possible to apply re entry visa in states and come back in the philippines while its on process or i have to wait till i get the visa? Do you think they will approve my request?
Reentry permits are granted where there is a genuine need for you to be outside USA for a limited period of time and you have no intention of abandoning your permanent residence. Since this is an important and complex issue, you should consult a lawyer. Once you have done the biometrics for the reentry permit, you can leave while the application is in process. But keep in mind the risk of a denial if you have left. So, do speak with a lawyer.
I have worked with Rajiv Khanna for all my immigration matters so far. My H1B, 140, 485 etc were all processed by the lawyers working at this firm. Each & every member of this organization is very organized & meticulous with quick turnaround. Rajiv'ji provides direction in complicated situations and always takes care of the client. Now I am processing my 3nd H1B amendment with this group and hopefully I get my GC soon.
