I am currently waiting for my I-829 to process, which means my conditional green card is extended for a year (in my case, four months left). If I file for I-131 reentry permit now, could I still get a full, two-year extension on my green card?
Reentry permits are valid for two years. As a conditional lawful permanent resident, you are entitled to all the rights and benefits of a permanent resident, including a two-year reentry permit. Of course, if your I-829 is denied, that may affect your practical ability to use your reentry permit.
No, they will approve it only up until the time of the extension of your green card and, by then, there might not be any time left on your green card. Try to get the temporary green card stamp and ask for a one-year extension. That way you can get more time.
Your Reentry Permit will be valid for a 2-month period, regardless of the time it takes for your I-829 Petition to Remove Conditions to be adjudicated.
