What is the process for obtaining a re-entry permit?

A re-entry permit is an official document that allows someone who is not a United States citizen to travel outside the U.S. and then return within a certain period of time. To obtain a re-entry permit, you must apply in person at the local United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office in Tennessee. You will need to bring a valid passport with you to the USCIS office. You will also need to submit Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, along with the appropriate fees. Before your application can be considered, you will need to have an interview with a USCIS officer. At the interview, the USCIS officer will ask questions to verify your identity and that you are eligible for the re-entry permit. You will also need to provide documentation such as proof of your legal presence in the United States and evidence of your plans to return within the designated period of time. If your application is approved, you will receive the re-entry permit within 30 days. This document will allow you to travel abroad, as long as you return to the U.S. within the time frame indicated on your re-entry permit. It is important to keep your re-entry permit with you at all times when traveling. Finally, you should note that a re-entry permit does not replace a visa or other valid immigration documents. You may still need other documents to be able to travel to other countries, or to stay in the United States for an extended period of time.

El proceso para obtener un permiso de reingreso depende de los estándares de la legislación de inmigración de Tennessee. Si un extranjero desea viajar fuera de los Estados Unidos después de haber entrado con un permiso para permanecer por un período limitado de tiempo allí, debe obtener un permiso de reingreso antes de salir. Primero, el extranjero debe aplicar para un permiso de reingreso con el USCIS. En la solicitud, el postulante debe proporcionar información detallada acerca de la identificación, la ubicación y los planes de viaje. El extranjero también debe presentar documentos adicionales para comprar la aplicación, como prueba de que tiene un motivo válido para salir de los Estados Unidos y regresar. Si la solicitud de permiso de reingreso se aprueba, el USCIS emitirá un documento que acredite que el extranjero puede volver a ingresar a los Estados Unidos legalmente después de haber viajado al extranjero.
