Expedited Processing for Re-Entry Permit
3-4 weeks for biometrics
1-4 months for document production and delivery
Because of these significant processing times under regular processing, it is recommended that reentry permit applications be initiated well in advance of any planned trip. Additionally, USCIS has established an “expedited processing” procedure that permits, under certain circumstances and emergencies, the biometrics to be scheduled on a first-available basis so that the applicant can travel abroad. In many cases, under the expedited processing procedure, biometrics appointments are able to be secured within 2-4 weeks of application filing.
The government has indicated that they would consider a request to expedite the biometrics scheduling on a case-by-case basis. According to experienced immigration attorneys, due to the significant processing time for a regular reentry permit, clients should make the case in the reentry permit filing that the required biometrics should be expedited due to scheduled travel (plane ticket purchases), work schedule (must appear for a new assignment abroad), medical needs (urgent surgery abroad), or others. When filing a reentry permit and requesting expedited processing, include prepaid FedEx envelopes to that USCIS can promptly return the biometrics notice back to you.
