I-131 (2 years or 1.5 years)

[Zain.aziz]

I did apply for I-131 in May 2016 and after a month got biometrics done in US. Recently I have received a call from US consulate to come and pick your documents. I have got passport kind (Green Color) travel book and dates are as follows:

Date of Issue: 16 Oct 2016
Date of Expiration: 16 Feb 2018

If I calculate from Oct 2016 or May 2016, I am not getting 2 years relaxation.

Any suggestion or help please.

Expecting help in the matter.. I have got 1.5 years permission instead of 2 years.

Zain,

If this is your second or later Reentry Permit application, USCIS may have given you a shorter duration of Reentry Permit. Also, you may have indicated a requested duration of less than two years in answers to questions on the I-131. Also, however, THE TERMINATION OF THE REENTRY PERMIT WOULD COINCIDE WITH AN EXPIRATION OF YOUR GREEN CARD.

Dear Ray,

Thanks for reply.
You are absolutely right Sir. I have just checked my Green Card and expiration date is same as on Reentry permit (16 Feb 2018). Sir if I make my travel in Dec 2017 or Jan 2018 so it is gonna be fine ?
