What is the process for applying for a reentry permit?

If you are a non-immigrant in Arizona who needs to leave the state for a period of time, you may need to apply for a reentry permit. This permit will allow you to leave the state and return without having to reapply for a visa. The process for applying for a reentry permit in Arizona involves several steps. First, you must complete and sign Form I-131, which is the Application for a Reentry Permit. You must also submit two passport-style photos, proof of non-immigrant status and a fee of $575 for the application. You must then submit your application and documents to the nearest U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office. Once your application has been received, USCIS will review it and if approved, you will receive a confirmation notice in the mail. The next step is to attend an interview, which will take place at the USCIS office that you submitted your application to. During the interview, an immigration officer will ask you questions about your application and verify the information you provided. If your application is approved, you will be given a reentry permit. This permit is valid for two years and must be presented to a U.S. Customs officer when you re-enter the U.S. after your trip. Following the application process and attending the interview, you will receive a decision from USCIS on whether your application for a reentry permit was approved or denied. If it is denied, you may appeal the decision, so it is important to read all the information carefully that you receive from USCIS.
