What is the process for applying for a reentry permit?

The process of applying for a reentry permit in Washington is simple but it can be time consuming. The first step is to fill out Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. This form is available from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You will need to provide evidence that you are an immigrant or a nonimmigrant who is authorized to travel to and from the United States. You will also need to provide evidence of your identity, such as a valid passport or other government-issued documents. The second step is to submit the form, along with the required fee, to the USCIS Service Center with jurisdiction over your place of residence. Once the form and fee have been received, USCIS will process your application. Depending on your circumstances, they may request additional documentation. Once your application has been approved, the USCIS will issue a reentry permit. This permit will allow you to leave the United States and to return without having to apply for a new visa. The permit is valid for two years, and must be presented to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers upon reentry. The process of applying for a reentry permit in Washington can take several weeks or even months, so it is important to plan ahead and to begin the process as soon as possible. Once your permit has been issued, it is important to keep it safe and to always have it with you when traveling to and from the United States.
