How can I obtain a re-entry permit?

If you are currently in Washington and wish to travel outside of the country and return, you will need to obtain a re-entry permit. This type of permit is necessary to maintain your legal residence in Washington while travelling abroad. To obtain a re-entry permit, you can contact your local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office in your area to find out what documents and fees are required to submit an application. Generally, you will need to submit a completed application form, a valid passport, and proof of your authorized admission duration to the United States. Other documents, such as birth certificate, an employment letter, and a tax return may also be required. Once your application is reviewed, it may be approved or denied. If you are approved, you will receive a re-entry permit which will allow you to travel abroad without jeopardizing your status as a legal resident in Washington. This document must be presented at the port of entry upon your return. Finally, it is important to note that a re-entry permit is valid for two years after it is issued, and it can be renewed. Re-entry permits are not valid for those individuals who have been convicted of a crime or who are not legally admitted to the United States. For those individuals, a different type of documentation must be obtained to return to the United States.
