I-131
Can I wait for my I-131 re-entry permit outside US? I’m done with my biometrics last January. Thank you :)
edit:
I have my greencard already (10 years expiration), they sent me a letter that my biometrics was reused last January 11. I’m still in US but I already bought a plane ticket

no. you have to wait for the document. if you leave without it they will consider your case abandoned.

Don’t you even think about it. You will automatically abandon your case.

Even tho I have my greencard?

lol, that’s a different story!

my bad, I’ll add more details :)

@Gabe Fig: Wait, I'm lost. With a green card you can travel anytime I believe. Why do you need I-131 when you have a green card? Are you travelling for a long period of time?
Gabe FigMar 2, 2022
Yes, I’m planning to stay outside US for a period of time thats why I applied for a reentry permit :)

@Gabe: Oh I see. You have to be careful. This might be a good question for an attorney. But I believe if you travel, you might easily get back here anytime using your green to restart your clock in case you I-131 hasn’t been approved. Because if you stay out of the country passed your allowed time without an approved AP you might get in trouble. I would seek for legal advice if I were you.
