I am a U.S. resident with a green card.
My boyfriend is going to be transferred to Japan for a few years and I would like to apply for a re-entry permit so that I can visit Japan during this time.
However, I am wondering if I can get a re-entry permit to go with my boyfriend since it is not for my own work or study. Maybe it will be easier once we are married, but from my past marriages I would like to take my time and be more careful.
I wonder if he can get a permit for a reason like mine ？
If anyone knows, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

I see that the application form for the Re-Entry Permit is I-131.
Part 4, 1.a. of the same document is the Purpose of trip.

Reading Parts 2, 3 and 4 on the following site, it seems that there are no restrictions for permanent residents to obtain a Re-Entry Permit.
For Information About Your Proposed Travel, describe the purpose of the trip and which countries you intend to visit.
Generally, there are no restrictions for permanent residents requesting a Reentry Permit for temporary travel.

Not really an answer, but it took me about a year and a half from the time I applied for my Re-entry permit until it arrived at my home💦
My circumstances changed during that time and I no longer need it 😓
$ I threw away 660 😓 (I think ？ ) It's like 💧.

In my case, I applied for a Re-entry permit to live in Japan for a little while and decide whether the US or Japan would be better for me in the future.
I wrote the reason as it is.
I returned to Japan one month after applying for the Re-entry permit, but I could not get my fingerprints taken in Hawaii in time, so I went to the US Consulate in Tokyo and received my permit at the US Consulate one year later.

I applied about 3 weeks ago.　The reason is that I will be returning to Japan to take care of my parents.
Two weeks later, I received a letter saying, "We have received your application. We will start working on it now. The schedule for fingerprinting will be mailed later." I received a letter saying something like this. One week later, I received a letter from the USCIS office saying, "This time, you do not need to come to the USCIS office because we will use the fingerprints we took the last time. Just remember to change your address to your new one before you leave the U.S." I received a letter that said. I think it is because I had my fingerprints taken last summer when I renewed my green card. For the time being, we will be able to return to Japan even if we can't make the permit in time. For your information.

Thank you very much for your answers.
I see that the reasons for wanting to return home temporarily are not that strict. I am relieved.
I also understand that the period of time until the permit is granted varies.
Thank you very much.
