A legal permanent resident needs to travel outside of the U.S., and needs to be absent from the U.S. for an extended time. She thus wants to get a re-entry permit so that she does not jeopardize her Green Card. However, she will have to travel in sixty days, which many recommend as the absolute minimum for seeking and receiving a re-entry permit. What are the consequences if she files less than sixty days before she has to travel, or if the re-entry permit is not issued before she leaves?
