Members, please inform your experience visiting COP after obtaining PR status (AS6) principal applicant.
Want to see if anyone had any problem at port of entry while coming back. Don't need to know no fact sheet stuff but actual experiences please.

Great idea !!!

Yes, let's use this thread only to share related experiences, but not opinions, just to avoid the endless discussion. (there are plenty of threads to do so).

I traveled to COP (Colombia) with GC+NP, after 7.5 yrs. At POE i was asked no questions whatsoever.
I am AS6.

Hello

I traveled to my COP after 6.5 years with NP+GC. I was asked just routine questions. I am AS6.
My Wife traveled on different dates using NP+ GC and she did'nt get any questions.
Now the big question is: Is there someone who got the Citizenship after traveled his/her COP ?

i really think it depends on the officer at the POE, most the immigration officers really dont care, they dont ask any question,i went

back to my country before i got green card using RTD, i came back without any problems,

it really depend on each officer mood

Your country of origin put a stamp on your RTD when you are still a citizen?

Again, I think we have concluded that the problems do not arise when re-entering the US. The problems MAY arise during the citizenship interview. But again, if you had bona fide reasons to visit your COP (either as an asylee or LPR) you should not have an issue. The intent is the key, I would think.
 
vdostoi1,





The issue here is not just the U.S government. It can also be the government of COP. See another thread where someone is reporting that a lpr is not allowed to leave the COP b/c of the asylum coded green card.

Yes, I agree. I guess I was just addressing the US side of the issue.

I'm fortunate my country is not fully aware of those GC category thing. Nor they have the modern tecnology to find that out.

Hi Atique,

Can you send me your email address in Private message, i have few questions for you that i d like to ask via email if you dont mind.

Thanks,
 
Got my gc (AS6) in August 2005, went to COP that December, for 5 weeks, using NP. Got probably a total of questions when entering POE in SF, only: Where did you go, how long were you there for. Then: Welcome home.

I'm going to COP again next month.
 
my national passport expired in the late 90s and never bothered to renew it. To be honest i am so tired of those people who run that govt. If it wasn't for my family and their welfare i would really not be concerned. I had a terrible life experience in my country birth, sometimes I don't understand why people go back outside of family emergencies
 
No one goes for fun. People usually have obligations to take care of ailing parents, relatives, property, even tombs in some cases. We have roots and unfortunatly they are not in this country.
I wish I was born here.
