Alert for Permanent Residents Traveling Overseas for Prolonged Period

The USCIS is tightening up the Re-entry Permit issuance policy. In the past, the USCIS issued the Reentry Permit almost automatically for two years allowing such permanent residents for continuous absence from the U.S. up to two years.

However, the permanent residents who stayed outside of the U.S. in aggregate of four years out of the five years will be issued only one-year valid Reentry Permit with some exceptions. It means that those who have been extending Reentry Permits two-year at a time may get only one-year at a time after certain period of time and may face increased scrutiny for repeated applications for reentry permits.

The permanent residents in the two-year conditional permanent resident status may be issued reentry permits but for a period up to two years depending on when they apply. In other words, the reentry permit will be issued to the eligible conditional permanent resident for a balance period for the two-year conditional status.
