Re-Entry Permit – Expedite by Having Attorney Call USCIS

Although, as we wrote recently, there is a procedure for expediting the fingerprinting appointment in connection with a re-entry permit for green card holders, such requests are not always honored in a timely manner. Our law firm now offers a second alternative to have the fingerprinting appointment expedited by USCIS. If you have a re-entry permit pending with USCIS or if you plan to file one, we can, as an attorney on your behalf, call the USCIS and request that your fingerprinting appointment be expedited. Having an attorney call the USCIS and explain the situation warranting expedited processing has advantages and recent experience shows that, given the circumstances, can significantly expedite the biometric appointment and the issuance of re-entry permit. Please read the full article or contact us directly for more information on this option.
