Re-Entry Permit – Expedite by Having Attorney Call USCIS

May 12th, 2008 | Category: News

The topic of re-entry permits for green card holders seems to resurface every few days.  We have written extensively about the new re-entry permit biometrics and the procedure to request expedited processing.

The main issue is that the new biometrics requirements create a great deal of uncertainty for international travelers who, most often, have planned and booked their trip months or even years in advance.  According to the March 2008 rule, re-entry permits cannot be issued unless the applicant remains in the U.S. and attends a biometric appointment.

Fingerprinting Appointment - Have Us Call USCIS on Your Behalf and Request Expedited Processing

Although, as we wrote recently, there is a procedure for expediting the fingerprinting appointment, such requests are not always honored in a timely manner.  Our law firm now offers a second alternative to have the fingerprinting appointment expedited by USCIS.  If you have a re-entry permit pending with USCIS or if you plan to file one, we can, as an attorney on your behalf, call the USCIS and request that your fingerprinting appointment be expedited.  Having an attorney call the USCIS and explain the situation warranting expedited processing has advantages and recent experience shows that, given the circumstances, can significantly expedite the biometric appointment and the issuance of re-entry permit.
