Hello, I know y'all will slap your foreheads at this question (I sure have), but I'm desperate...my problem is that, in huge haste to get an I-131 submitted ASAP before time runs out and we're leaving the country, I somehow seem to have only printed one copy of the application (the one that I sent in to USCIS.) Like everyone, I'm sure, I usually take the time to make sure I have a minimum of 2 copies of EVERYTHING...however, this time, I don't.

Now it seems I will need to take a copy of the application with me to the fingerprinting/biometrics appointment. I did the online-fillable PDF version of the I-131 application, the one that changes the barcode on the application as you fill it in, so simply filling out another application with a pen (or even online) would not give me the same exact application. BTW, this is an application for a re-entry permit, not for advance parole or refugee document, and my ACS location is Yakima, Washington state.

So my question is, is there any way to get a copy of an already-submitted application from USCIS? (Please, keep the laughing and eye-rolling to a dull roar, I know this is a hopeless, stupid question, but like I said I'm desperate.) If anyone has any idea if this is even remotely possible, please let me know. Or, if you have gone to a biometrics appt. sans copy of application, please let me know; or, if you've been in the same spot and simply printed another application typed the same way, please let me know...

Thanks for any information/encouraging advice.

Not sure what makes you think you need a copy of the I-131 when you go to the Yakima office. You will need to take the notice you received in the mail. Perhaps they can make you a copy of the I-131 when you're there.

Thanks for replying…I am going off the biometrics appointment info on USCIS website. They say to bring a copy of your application, along with all the supporting documentation, along with your appointment notice. Were you able to do fingerprints with only the appointment notice?

Yes, but it was not for a re-entry permit.
