代朋友問:
小弟持Reentry Permit在國內待了近兩年並想繼續待一段時間,為了保險起見想在手裏
的RP過期之前申請到新的RP,打算近期到美國遞交申請打完指紋就回中國。可是USCIS
規定申請新RP時,必須將未失效的舊RP和申請一起寄給USCIS,除非舊RP丟失或損毀。
想請問各位老師:1. 如果我在新RP的申請上聲明舊RP已經丟失(從而不用寄回舊的RP
)的話,USCIS是否會立即取消舊RP,從而導致我在拿到新RP之前(或新RP申請被拒絕
後)無法使用舊RP入境?
-The reentry permit (RP) renewal only can be filed in advance up to 120 days before the old one expires. So, after you enter US to file I-131 for the RP renewal and leave US, you can enter US using the new RP if you will enter US one year or more later since you file the renewal application. If you will come back to US before the renewal approval (it should be < 1 year to get it approved), you just use your green card.
2. 如果是這樣的話,萬一新RP的申請被拒絕,我該如何回到
美國呢?
-Return to US within one year using your GC.
