AOS APPLYING I 131

[sammi608612 1]

Hi Guys,

 

If applying Adjustment of Status from student visa and wants to get I 131, what reason should I list in the I 131 form saying I want to get the re-entry permit? How will it get approved and will any issue be if go back to other country and then come back here>

 

please advice, thanks

no, you don't qualify for that.

 

you need to fill out the part for advance parole.

 

the form is a dual purpose form, advance parole for those who are adjusting status

 

reentry permit for those who already have a green card and will be abroad for over a year up to 2 years, and not loose the green card

 

 now if you are asking about it after you get your GC, the reasons I've seen are for education, some are studying in their country and want to finish or go to the university in their country and not loose their GC status. because if you want to live abroad, why get a GC at all? it has to be temporary, because the reason to have a GC is to live in the US. that's the most common one.
