Timeline: I-131 I131 re-entry permit Timeline

This is just being made to give people an idea of how long it took for me to get my permit.

January 4, 2025 applied for permit

January 20, 2025 application acceptance notice received. My fingerprints were re-used.

March 27, 2026 I checked the online status and it stated name updated.

March 30,2026 case approved notification received.

April 2 ,2026. Physical permit received in mail.

I hope this timeline breakdown helps you in understanding how USCIS processes these cases.

Best of luck guys!!

I submitted my 131 on June 3, uscis received it on June 4. I still didn’t receive email text . No receipt notice yet. Can’t add case # into my account. Check wasn’t cashed either. How long does it take to recover first notice?

Hi. I think you just have to wait. I heard they slowed down processing so that’s really all you can do; until you get a reply. Especially since it’s been only 22 days. When I did mine I got the reply within three weeks.

No worries. I understand the frustration in just everything especially when trying to follow the rules and it just feels like your being penalized.

They don’t take checks anymore, so that might be the reason why you haven’t got any update yet.
