i have been reading these threads for a couple of months now and found them quite informative but with some confusing answers at times. i just joined the forum today and decided to get my questions answered directly.my mother and i were granted asylum by immigration judge a few years ago and i therefore got derivative status since i was under 21 at the time she filed. i got my AS8 green card this year and want to visit my sick father back home. was not sure about renewing my passport and applied for and recieved a rentry permit. can i renew my national passport and use it to travel back home? will i be given a hard time on my return to US at point of entry? will passport renewal be an issue when i become eligible for citizenship interview?

i assume based on your nick name you are probably from Colombia, from which im from too, in case this is correct my experiences might be helpful for you. I got my green card (AS8) through asylum ... i went back to COP 6 times in 3 years and never had any hard time while entering the USA; and i hope i never get it .... i research about this and i could say there is 99% possitivism that AS8 have nothing to worry about because of this. Good luck....
