Entering on expired re-entry permit but was in the US last 12 months

[ordjnb 40]

Hi all,

 

For reasons I won't go into, both my parents still have to delay their permanent move to the US for about two more years. 

 

My mom last entered the US in 3/5/24, her re-entry permit expires on 2/15/25. Can she enter the US after the re-entry permit expires on 2/15/25?

I misremembered and got plane tickets for entering the US on 2/16/25, thinking her reentry permit expires on 2/17/2025.  Since she last entered less than 12 months ago, although on the cusp, will she still be allowed to enter the US?

 

My dad on the other hand, doesn't have a reentry permit, also last entered the US on 3/5/24, but has a re-entry permit pending, it's been close to 10 months with no approval yet. Will he be allowed to enter as long as he shows the notice letters and proving he's done his biometrics and is just waiting? 

 

Thanks

Should not be a big issue.  They may be questioned as to why they have been out of the US for almost a year, but in general they should be fine.

 

Good Luck!
