Hi all,

 

GC holder through marriage. Currently in Australia for work and I have been asked to stay for a longer period due to project needs. To be safe, I'm planning to file for a re-entry permit.

 

It states I must be physically present in the USA to file the 131 form. 

 

Given Hawaii is significantly closer to Sydney than New Jersey (where we have family), I'm planning on travelling to Hawaii so to be physically present in the USA when filing. How long do I need to be in the USA for? I will need to return to Sydney for work commitments. 

 

Once I have the biometrics notification the plan would be to return to Hawaii to attempt a walk-in.

 

Any issues or obvious errors in this plan? Thanks in advance.
