Hello,

Let me just say first that it's difficult to find an answer to my simple question. I googled, I looked at the travel.state.gov website to find an answer but couldn't find any like this is an unusual case...:)....so here's my question:

Does my mother ( non-US citizen ) but has a Green Card, lived in the US for 6 years now, needs to get a US passport to travel overseas or outside the USA ?

The only info i can find is that ' All US citizens will require a US passport to travel outside USA ', nothing about Non-US citizens who is a Green card holder...:)

Thank You,

Ed
 
A non-citizen of a country is NOT entitled to that country's passport, so your mother CANNOT get a US passport because she is not a US citizen. She uses her Green Card and passport from her actual country of citizenship to travel. If she cannot get a passport from that country, she can apply for a Permit to Re-Enter with CIS.
 
if she's been in usa for six years, she should apply for citizenship and her problem will be solved.
remember if she gets a reentry permit, make sure to check if the country she is visiting doesnt require a visa.
 
I am not a us citizen and i only have a student visa but i would like to travel to one of the carribean us territories: PR, us virgins.
