Hello,
Have greencard. Had to leave country for more than a yea so filed for i-131 for re-entry. We finished biometrics in US before leaving. It has been close to a year now and we have not received any decision on i-131 reentry application. Processing time on USCIS shows 15+ months now which is beyond the 1 year limit that GC holder can stay outside of the US from what I understand.
Two questions -
1. Could we continue to stay outside the US until we receive decision on i-131? Or do we need to return to US within a year since we have not received i-131 response.
2. If i-131 is approved, is 2 year extension from the date application was approved or from the date we left US.
Appreciate your help in advance.
