Thanks! Looked at the 131 and under Entries it has an M which has always meant multiple. And from the info given by all you guys it looks like she can pretty much come and go as required if she's not worried about naturalization. Which she's not as we most likely will live in China after I retire...unless her daughter and nephew move to the USA and then everything will probably change. Thanks so much for your help!!

That's for Advanced Parole, not a Re-Entry Permit. Different animals as I understand it.

Thanks Randy! The I-131 looks just like a passport booklet with multiple pages. Just a different colored cover. This way I guess they can stamp it as they need to if required multiple times. I guess I need to call uscis and ask. The quote you had still doesn't seem clear to me. I guess 'valid' would be the sticker. If you use it one time is it invalid? Marc and Rosie

Hi, Had to make a new account because I forgot the password and in China I can't access gmail! QUESTION. My wife has an I-131. I've looked everyplace to try to answer this question but couldn't even find it on uscis. 131 is good for 2 years. If she goes back to the USA for some business she needs to attend to before that (needs to be there in October and might need to stay until December) and then comes back to China, is the 131 still good or once she comes back to the USA do we need to get another 131. She's in China now (me too) to care for her parents. Same reason why she'd come back to China again. Any help would be appreciated! THANKS!! Marc and Rosie
