回复 1楼 mepd 的帖子 You have two years to legally stay outside of the US if your case is approved, but since you are waiting for a decision, you are currently in good status. Only problem is if USCIS requires fingerprinting, then your parent needs to come back for the biometrics appointment.
USCIS phone service is Schrodinger's cat - who knows what's going on. We once got in touch with two different agents and got two different answers. We are in the same boat, no decision after a year. I let my mother go back to China b/c the USCIS exempted her biometrics. You will get your approval eventually, and I believe you can legally stay outside of the US in this waiting period PLUS the two years you'll get. Of course anytime you return to the US before the approval you're fine.

So you did get a letter showing the biometrics is exempted? We have not received any communication. what us the two years” deal?
刚查case history, 写得, 快一年前 “ fingerprints relating to your Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records, Receipt Number LINxxxxxxx, have been applied to your case.”这个什么意思啊？ 移民局真会用词，什么叫 “applied to”, 就是不需要指纹了吗？

请问在现在这中美关系下，如果在中国呆一年以上，甚至两年，回来海关不让入境的风险有多大？大家有经验或教训分享吗？
移民局的电话是永远打不通真人说话的…基本就是black box…
是超过一年吗？
把不能回美的原因证明带上，比如医院的诊断CT照片这些，现在肯定卡的严，但是真的病了或者别的因素，合情合理，那也必须放行，海关没有权利没收你的绿卡。老人过海关拒绝任何文件的签字。

移民局电话都是打不通的吗？就是没真人接吗？ 回美证申请就拿了个收据，一年多了，也没让交指纹；就算指纹不是必须的，也该有个approval. 回美证会收到approval letter 吧，不仅仅是缴费证明？

这位层主说的是正解，只要递交了申请后移民局通知了免掉打指纹，那就可以回国等着了，完全没问题
很显然，这个case还没有被处理到，只能等。收据上有个case number，在移民局那个网站输入case number能看到case的status。如果批了的话，会收到一个像护照大小的小本本，绿皮的
等回美证下来你给寄回去
是的

No biometrics notice. No biometrics exemption notice either…
Ok thx!
估计因为是疫情原因好点
我刚查了，也是这个信息。我三月就收到了信，说不用再打指纹了。
就是说，以前的指纹用到了现在的申请上了。不用打指纹了。这样挺好的。回美证的两年期是从issue那天算的。加上他等这一年，他就有三年的时间在中国，worry free.
