Re entry and Four years and one day rule
Hello, so i had my interview today. I passed the civics test but the officer could not come up with a decision yet since i have not been physically present in the US for 5 straight years because i was away for 1 year and 9 months vis a re entry.

Since i came back from my absence, i have been year in the US for four years and 6 months. The officer said she will ask her immigration lawyer to decide on what to do with my case. I know that i need to wait for 5 years before applying given the 4 years and a day rule, i thought it should be fine. I wonder how long it takes until the officer will tell me what else they need.

Has anyone experienced this? Thank you.

Returning after 4 months and the Re entry permit has not been mailed yet
Hello to all,

I'm a green card holder studying back in my country and I return to the US every semestral break (after 4 or 5 months) to visit my family. I applied for 1 previous reentry permit already and it expired last oct 2017.

I applied for another reentry permit (I-131) last june and it got produced last September 20. The site says usually, it takes about 60 days to mail the document but, I haven't received an email that it was shipped/mailed to my consulate.

My flight to return for the Christmas break is in a few weeks. I'd just like to ask if it's safe to return to the US without it? And if I do return without it, do I need some sort of proof that I have been just studying abroad when I get questioned at the border patrol? Thank you.

tax filing after re-entry permit
Hello to all, I have a question and I would need your help.

I am a green card holder since September 2016, living and working in Chicago. I plan to accept a job offer from a foreign company and move to Europe for the next 3 years and my attorney advised me that the best would be to file for a re-entry permit, which will however cancel my naturalization process (I have to restart when I come back to the US). My intention is to keep my house here in USA and travel regularly to the US (every 2-3 months), since I will have a parallel consulting agreement with a US company. Of course, I will keep my bank accounts, credit cards, memberships etc, since I plan to return back in 3 years. Therefore, my questions are:

1) Should I file for re-entry permit?
2)Is there any way that I can avoid cancelling my US naturalization process?
3) In the case that I get the re-entry permit, I will have approximately 80% of my income generated in Europe and 20% in USA. I will be living approximately 300 days per year in Europe and 65 days in USA. Should I file taxes in the US as a resident or as a non-resident?
4) Would filing as a non-resident be considered as an abandonment of my green card and cancel my re-entry permit?

Thank you in advance!

Re entry permit
Hi I applied for my I131. Couriered formed on 24thJuly which was received on 27th July by Nebraska and cheque for finger printing was in cashed. Can anyone please tell me when will I receive my biometric notice. The tracker says receipt recent for fingerprint money received and gives my tracking no but I haven’t received the mail as yet. I need to travel end of the month do you think I will get fingerprint notice before that? And has anyone done it recently? I live in Connecticut has anyone done INFO PASS?

Does getting a bio-metrics appointment means your reentry permit has been approved?
I filed an application on 7th Mar, they sent me a notice on 13th of Mar. Now i'm waiting for a bio-metrics appointment but i just wanted to know if I can leave for my extended stay after my biometrics appointment? As in, I will definitely get my reentry permit if I have given my biometrics or there is still a chance that it may be denied? Because if there is then there is no point in leaving without one.
