媽媽綠卡今年一月份拿到的,3月初到6月初回國了,現在計劃2025年年初回去,並想在國內多待一段時間照顧外婆,請問這種情況下是不是要申請Re-entry permit,為離境美國6個月以上做個準備。
-If she returns within one year, she does not need reentry permit. But because she is not sure how long she will stay in China, she had better apply for the reentry permit.
想請教:
1. 申請綠卡的時候,一起提交過I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records,但綠卡批準那天,case was terminated/denied了。可以在那個基礎上再次提交嗎?
-No. That I-131 wass for advance parole application, so it is irrelevant to the new I-131 application for reentry permit.
是否可以免去再交一次filing fee?
-No. She needs to pay the new I-131 filing fee.
2. 如果6個月之內返美,是不是申請Re-entry permit會把事情弄麻煩。
-No. It affects nothing.
據說就算有Re-entry permit,還是需要證明在國外逗留的目的與此前申請提交的I-131表格裏所述的臨時目的一致。
-Don't beleive so called "據說".
如果隻是照顧家人,沒有特別的證明材料,怎麽弄?
-Not need to provide anything. Just use the reentry permit to enter US.
