Hello I traveled every year for christmas on my green card I went to the carribean when I lived in NYC. I knew i was not supposed to stay away for 6 months I had no problem have a great day
I understand that we cannot surrender the Green card outside US. If a Green card holders stays outside for more than one year and he wants to surrender his/her green card and apply for visiting visa to US, how can he/ she do it? How can he/ she surrender the Green card and SS card outside US ?
I have question...im a holder of a permanent residence green card in the US...i travel outside the US last feb. 27 2024 with my husband and we stay in the philippines for almost 11months and my husband die suddenly for hearth attack, i want to go back to the US, am i still allow to travel without holding me back at the immigration..thank you for the answer.
What if you're a Permanent Resident that had a misdemeanor as a minor? If that person travels for a few months outside the states , will he have issues getting back in?
My brother in law had a felony when he was a teenager and flew to Mexico when he came back he was flagged through customs but they let him come in regardless
Hi , Actually I was arrested for domestic battery 243e1 in California. During case my lawyer negotiated with DA and DA amended my charge and reduce and give me deal for pc415 (1) I accepted nolo contendere for pc415 . Judge give me 1 year to complete 40 hours community service and 12 hours anger management after that case will be dismissed. So my hearing set on this July 2023 . So my question is case is still open can I travel internationally before complete my case . Will be any issue when I will come come USA At airport with poe.
Kindly avoid travel in your situation to be on safer side. Once you have your permanent card with out any restrictions, then you can travel and return safely.
I hv a question please, if someone can help me with the answer, I hv the USCIS 24 months renewal letter with my 2years expired green card, can I travel outside the US for a month n if anyone has recently travel with the letter n expired green card ? 🙏
My another comment is in regards to COVID era. There was time no flights were available because of lock down. So absence more than 6 months jeopardize Citizenship application or there is waiver from USCIS?
What about if your 10 yrs. Green card expires and renewed for another 10yrs you can file in your citizenship within 2yrs after the first 10yrs. Was expired?
I have a green card. What’s the rule if I decide to go for 2-year graduate program outside of the US? I mean… I’d definitely live outside of the United States for over than 1 year. Of course, I’d still be able to return to visit the US, but, in this case, I wouldn’t be living here. How does it work in those situations?

Because of emergency, she traveled back her with her 1 year old child home country while waiting for her greencard. Can she be able to come back to join her husband? What should she need to do?
What ? If I holding a green card and stayed more than two years outside USA as my mother was a dementia patient and I was taking care of her during Covid travel restrictions plus more health issues of my daughter.

Hi. I'm a green card holder. I was in the Philippines for 5 months. I came back last month. I've been here for 1 month now. I'm planning to go back again soon and stay there for 3 to 5 months because I still have children there. They really need me during this pandemic time. How many months should I stay here in the US before going back there? I hope you can help me on this.
Bad idea. Don't leave the US again before 2022. Those 3-5 months you planning to go soon, forget it. you go next year. You wanna have at least 180 days in the US of each calendar year.
Hi, what documents did you showed in immigration in US port of entry?. I’m planning to go back next year in Philippines and I’m worried about the documents.
Hi, I'm currently on a trip for 6 months August - Feb. (5 months and a day before the 6 month period to be exact) and I'm planning to stay for 1-2 more months (so 7-8 months overall if possible). I'm a permanent resident in the US and already completed my 5 year statutory in 2020. I'm planning to apply for my citizenship when I get back to the US this year. My question is, will my 5 year period reset back to 0 and have to redo my 5 years before I can apply for my citizenship again? I have proof that I'm still a resident and I've been and still living in the same house for 5-6 years, have a US bank account, drivers license and will pay my tax when W2 becomes available. Please advise.
I was in Canada for exactly 180 days and returned to the US on a Permanent Resident card. I was advised not to exceed 180 days. The customs officer immediately allowed me entry into the US with no difficulties.
This is exactly what sucks about immigration law. So many things are just in a gray area with not concrete law behind it. I have friends who have stayed outside the US for more than 6 months per year. They have visited the US for 2 week, 3 week etc periods every once in a while. They were never questioned too hard. Just let back in. But all these advice videos makes you think you'll get thrown out of the country if you talk to the wrong officer. Hard to know what to believe.
@@8rk You can come back to US within one year of your departure. But the residency time you have accumulated prior to departure will be lost. If you plan to stay out of US for more than an year, you should take reentry permit. Permanent Resident means you're going to be staying permanently in USA for purpose of your living and occupation. There are circumstances when you have to leave. Also if you get job or have business overseas. But keeping ties to the US is important to maintain your LPR status.

Hi, thank you for your channel! I got my Green Card in 2001 and in 2010 I left the USA (almost 12-13 years ago) My Question: I want to return to the USA . Do I still have my Green Card? How can I enter the US with a Visa? How I can contact you? Thanks!
I am a US citizen, but I am confused. I married Singaporean over a year ago. We want to live in the US and start a family. She also wants to become a US Citizen. I am currently preparing to file a Form I-130 petition. How does a Green Card play into this scenario? Or, is it a faster & different process?
Yes I travelled outside of US leaving November 2019. My mother was I'll and Placed in a care home. I wanted to spend time with her as she was 92. She died and there was the funeral and sorting out her home. I travelled to Spain to see my brother and travel a bit. I went straight into the strictest lockdown around at the time in Spain. We weren't allowed to leave the house except to go to the nearest store. Airports were closed etc. i couldn't travel either through airports and airplanes with asthma/COPD immune issues either. I wasn't allowed and when I heard I was allowed I booked a flight and tried to return and was refused at the airport. I tried at the consulate but they were all closed except for special and urgent cases. I was only 19 days past a year by this time. Now it's 2022. My green card is dead! I am still married and I have a daughter and niece and family there. My bank account is there. Everything is as I left it but I can't get on a plane.
@@Freddypup you have a very valid reason. I’d try another attorney and scale this up in the justice system. You were literally unable to come back, you have valid reasons to be outside the US. Did you keep working for an US company (even remotely)? Did you keep filing taxes to the US?
@@Antoniocastagnoli r u an attorney? Do you know America? They don't care what the reason is if you stay out of the country for more than a year you are not let on the plane. If you manage to get to a border then you will be taken to a room for a three hour interrogation. I know someone who went through the same and was told you can go to a cell until u get a court date!! How long noone knows.
I have couples questions to ask. I just recently received my Green Card and I want to go visit home for 31 days. Q #1. Can I travel out of US and re-enter with my Green Card and my old Laos passport? Q #2. If I able to travel out of US, do I have to apply for I-131 (travel documents)? Q #3. If I able to travel out of US for 31 days will it affect when I apply for US citizenship? look forward to hear soon from you soon.
Hi, my name is Anthony, I have pending removal as my Green card had been revoked and given an I-1551 which been renewed every year. My case is pending and wanted to use the temporary I-1551 to travel outside USA. Can It’s be save to go without facing any problem on my return? I have no court date as at now. ?
My case started since 2014 when I was coming from Abroad and found that I have used a different name for asylum and never follow up since 1995. I got my feet card through Diversity lottery and granted in 1996.
i have a green card and i have never renew it, i saw that you got a 10years green card on there but my refugee card i dont think it expired, is that true?
hi, say I were to marry an American woman, and get a green card that way. could I then work on my own (doing odd jobs, working online) while living in America? would this be allowed?
They forgot to mention one very important thing. Green card being dead is only to the USCIS side. IRS will still consider you a permanent resident for tax purposes unless you officially withdraw your residency by application. So just because you have been outside US more that a year doesn't mean you are off the hook.
Why should I worry? I can't afford my paltry SS to be taxed at 25%! It's written on the SS web sites. I do my own research. Now I wonder why theirs isn't being taxed. Are they collecting yet?
Hello,l want to know,what stage my Green Card is.l usely left USA for only two or three weeks,but now I retired last year.l got my Green Card since 1982 and started working since 1982,I just retired last year 2022 in January. I called the Immigration before,because when l came back to USA,the Custom told me that I need a new picture,so I call the Immigration here in USA,they told me no,If I put a new picture,my Green Card will limit,Example,2yrs or 5 yrs,then I have to renew it every two years or five years,but I’m fine because there is no limit on mine and keep on using it. The customs problems is because my picture is younger then now I’m older. Like they told me that my Green Card is not limit..Please let me know because I’m going on a trip soon..Thank you.
Im in the green card process and I haven’t been in my country for 6 years and I just got a paper about traveling my question was could I travel back to my country would that hurt my process? Because I’m scared of leaving and getting my green card canceled or something like that

Does it matter which country abroad they are visiting? For example, my wife is planning to immigrate to the U.S. from Canada. She is a naturally born Canadian citizen. If she decides to visit her family in Canada, or Ethiopia (her parents birth place) will that affect her if the duration of her visit does not exceed 6 months?

Hi I’m a U.S green card holder I’ve been in the U.S for more than five years and I’m about to apply for my citizenship. Right now I need to go to Canada for two weeks and I’m traveling by land.

Hi Sonam, did you ever get an answer for your question? I'm in this exact situation right now and I have to travel to Canada, but I don't have a passport, just my green card.
Hi. I'm Indian and have green card. Recently visiting my home land to attend family here. Now the flight is discontinued due to corn -19 What's if I may not be able to return with in six months?
What if you stayed more than 2 yrs out of United States during the pandemic and you’re a green card holder for more than 10 yrs is there a possibility that he can come back to the United States.
I'm a new green card holder and I went home in November 2020, my country's borders ate closed so one has to apply for exemption to fly in and out. I now back in the us. No fuss,just stay under 6 months. People abuse their status and that is why things gets messed up. Don't abandon your status..
What about a person that got his green card through asylee, can he stay out of US more then 6 month? Does the 6 month validity rules on passport apply on refugee travel document?
One person he is actually green card holder at USA and he came india and bought so many house properties and gave one of his house for rent and he is continues harassing and destroying our personal life in India... How I can complain against him to US authorities? Please advise.
Hello, I have no idea to be honest. Perhaps go to the US Embassy? Call or file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau here in the states? If you know what state he is in you can complain to that state's chamber of commerce perhaps???
My dear, I applied for naturalization on Oct 03 2019, during 2014, I was outside of the USA for family obligation (1 year and 10 days) but I had Reentry permit during that time.

How many months should I stay here in the US before going back there? I hope you can help me on this.
Hey when you went to Philippines for 5 months and came back did you have any problem at customs at the airport? Did they question you or did they let you in easily because it was under the 6 months mark?

I was only 19 days past a year by this time. Now it's 2022. My green card is dead! I am still married and I have a daughter and niece and family there. My bank account is there. Everything is as I left it but I can't get on a plane.
Omg! Did you try to get an attorney? I heard that if it’s a covid related reason, they were waiving. Hope you can get your residency back!
@@Antoniocastagnoli yea and there was nothing they could do. One said go to Mexican border but the border was closed. Everything was a no go.
@@Freddypup you have ties with the US. Did you get an attorney?
@@Freddypup you have a very valid reason. I’d try another attorney and scale this up in the justice system. You were literally unable to come back, you have valid reasons to be outside the US. Did you keep working for an US company (even remotely)? Did you keep filing taxes to the US?
@@Antoniocastagnoli r u an attorney? Do you know America? They don't care what the reason is if you stay out of the country for more than a year you are not let on the plane. If you manage to get to a border then you will be taken to a room for a three hour interrogation. I know someone who went through the same and was told you can go to a cell until u get a court date!! How long noone knows.

They forgot to mention one very important thing. Green card being dead is only to the USCIS side. IRS will still consider you a permanent resident for tax purposes unless you officially withdraw your residency by application. So just because you have been outside US more that a year doesn't mean you are off the hook.
I thought if you are a long term GC resident giving it up doesn't put you off the hook for a very long time
But if no monger have green card they tax your social security at a high rate
Why should I worry? I can't afford my paltry SS to be taxed at 25%!
It's written on the SS web sites. I do my own research. Now I wonder why theirs isn't being taxed. Are they collecting yet?
@@CLAUDIOILTEXANO it also depends on the country and if they have a social security agreement or not.
What country?
Lucky you!
Would you need a travel document or passport as a green card holder if you're going for less than 6 month ?

Hello,l want to know,what stage my Green Card is.l usely left USA for only two or three weeks,but now I retired last year.l got my Green Card since 1982 and started working since 1982,I just retired last year 2022 in January. I called the Immigration before,because when l came back to USA,the Custom told me that I need a new picture,so I call the Immigration here in USA,they told me no,If I put a new picture,my Green Card will limit,Example,2yrs or 5 yrs,then I have to renew it every two years or five years,but I’m fine because there is no limit on mine and keep on using it. The customs problems is because my picture is younger then now I’m older. Like they told me that my Green Card is not limit..Please let me know because I’m going on a trip soon..Thank you.

Does it matter which country abroad they are visiting? For example, my wife is planning to immigrate to the U.S. from Canada. She is a naturally born Canadian citizen. If she decides to visit her family in Canada, or Ethiopia (her parents birth place) will that affect her if the duration of her visit does not exceed 6 months?

My dear, I applied for naturalization on Oct 03 2019, during 2014, I was outside of the USA for family obligation (1 year and 10 days) but I had Reentry permit during that time. UCSIS is asking evidence that I did not abandonment my US residence for that period but I don’t understand why they are asking for it since I had Reentry permit.
