Hi! I think this question has been answerd before but I'm so doubtful still. I got my GC in march and stayed in the US until april, since Im still in college abroad, in febraury I'll be going back for a week since I've been invited to visit a University in Oregon but I'm so scared of what they'll ask me. Im graduating in June this year and intend to go to the US after that. What document should I have with me? Will they make it difficult for me to re entry since Im only going for a week?
thank you :)
 
Proof that you'll be graduating in June would be great. You could be questioned at the POE. but since you're a student and will be returning after one more short trip, you need not worry too much. If you like, have proof of ties to the US on you (a letter from your parents would be good, stating they support you, you have full access to their domicile in the US, and that you will be returning for good after studying abroad in June). It's unlikely you'd be asked to show it anyway. Do not volunteer any information unless asked, but do not lie.
 
If you haven't already booked your ticket for the February trip, avoid booking a return ticket that ends up outside the US. Use a one-way ticket to enter the US in February, then a separate return ticket that takes you out and back into the US after graduation.
 
Thank you for your replies...I'll take all of them in consideration to be prepared when going back. I honestly hope they don't give me a hard time :)
