Admission - Aug 2023 FX2 I’d prefer not to get into my personal matters online … a lot can happen over a few years while waiting for visa approval my question was about whether my re-entry permit would be approved or not based on the fact that I filed & mailed I-131 while in the US but left prior to receiving the receipt notice & biometrics do not need to be redone. If someone has any information about this it will help me understand if I need to go through the process of applying again or not.

does anyone know or have any attorney referrals?

Can anyone enlighten me on if it’s going to be a problem that I left the US a few days after mailing I-131 prior to receiving receipt notice. I got the receipt notice from USCIS contact centre after noticing that the payment was processed. My biometrics are being reused from a previous case but I wanted to know if leaving prior to getting the mailed receipt notice is going to be an issue? I don’t see anything on the instructions or FAQ on USCIS stating that I need to be in the US until I receive a receipt notice only at the time of filing the form which I was present for. I also requested for the re-entry permit to be sent to a US embassy. Can I still travel to the US while having the re-entry permit? For context I’m a Canadian citizen with a green card (family based category). My green card never arrived in the mail and I’m still waiting for I-90 to be completed the processing time has now increased to 17 months. I got an ADIT stamp in June 2024 since my admission stamp was going to expire in Aug 2024 & I-90 processing times are pretty long but I have been sent to secondary every time since getting this stamp to verify my status. I need to be in between US/Canada for some personal matters so I applied for the re-entry permit as I’m starting to be questioned about my time outside of the US although it’s never been more than 6 months away. Please drop any insights. Thank you.
