The Nebraska Service Center (NSC) of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently announced that, regardless of age, all applicants who file for reentry permit or refugee travel document (Form I-131) are being issued biometric appointment notices. The purpose of these biometric appointments is to capture a digital photograph of applicants who are not required to submit fingerprints. These NSC statements came in response to questions submitted by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).
3. Biometrics Services Requirement a. All applicants for a Refugee Travel Document or a Reentry Permit must complete biometrics at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) or, if applying for a Refugee Travel Document while outside of the United States at an overseas USCIS facility. If you are between ages 14 through 79 and you are applying for a Refugee Travel Document or a Reentry Permit, you must also be fingerprinted as part of USCIS biometrics services requirement. After you have filed this application, USCIS will notify you in writing of the time and location for your biometrics services appointment. Failure to appear to be fingerprinted or for other biometrics services may result in a denial of your application.

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/B5en.pdf 위 싸이트 기재된 이민국 지침서에 의하면 일단 입국허가서를 미국내에서 신청후 출국하는것은 상관 없다고 합니다.그런데 지문 채취는 면제 되더라도 출국전 지역 서비스 센터에서 디지탈 사진을 찍어야 한다고 명시 되어 있습니다.

답변주신분들 모두 감사드립니다. 예정으로는 6개월내에 들어오시려고합니다. 한국에서 암 추적 검사를 받고 계시는데 혹시 장기 치료가 필요한 경우가 생길까 걱정되서 미리 신청을 하고 다녀오시는게 어떨까해서요.

mrkevs 님, 그러면 사진은 신청후 임의대로 가서 찍는 건지, 그 시간을 정해주는 건지요. 감사합니다.

6개월 정도 체류면 재입국 허가를 받으실 필요는 없으나 만약 신청을 하면 이민국에서 Biometric (digital photo) 약속을 정해준다고 합니다.
