Reentry with Green Card

The man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

Instead of trying to convince him that he is wrong, just support his idea. I would insist cancelling the trip based on his assessment, then he would have to try to convince me to go. :)

I like your attitude chinabee
that is funny
 
Just wanted to mention that upon my arrival the POE officer not only scaned my GC (which to my understanding did not go through as he scanned two more times having a rather bitter facial expression) but also flipped through my passport and examined the ADIT stamp. The bloody filter on the monitor screen did not allow me to see anything...bugger. Anyway, I was wellcomed to the US after all.
 
travel otside US with pending card?

So far had 3 trips outside the US since getting my PR. You should have zero concerns on trips less than 6 months. More than that and you need to ensure you’re ok as far as re-entry is concerned.

Hi,
I am waiting for my PR card almost 2 years . So far I have 3 stamps in my passport "Processed for I-551. Temporary evidence of lawful admission for Permanent residence. Valid until..."

Also, I just received a letter that I need to go in the local office and file a I89, but so far I do not have any luck to get an appointment in Charlotte.
I am really nervous because I want to travel this summer, but I am afraid of denial on my way back.

Did you travel with such a stamp or you obtained a re-entry permit or something before leaving US?

My husband and I are planning to visit his family in England this summer. He has had his green card since last summer. Now, he has become concerned that he might have problems reentering the US. Despite all reassurances that he will have no problems, he will not listen to family here because we have not been through the situation ourselves.

If possible, would anyone mind posting some positive experiences they have traveling outside the US and what the reentry process was like?

And, in all fairness, if anyone has had problems, could you reply and let us know what they were?

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

I think there is nothing wrong with your husband being a lil scared , I feel the same way going home to germany for the first time in 4.5 Years. I just got my GC this Year . I changed my address in my Passport but to change my name will take a lil bit longer and I don't have time for that because I already paid for my tickets. The german embassy told me...I should take my Marriage registry with me and I'll be good to go but a lil bit of fear is still inside me that I have any problems to re-enter the US. On my GC is my name by marriage and in my passport my MaidenName.
 
Here is my situation

Got green card (plastic card) last year (sept 2004)
Going home after 7 years. Last time I went home, I came back to States with my Canadian permanent residency( telling them I am staying here for a few days and going to Canada afterwards). At that time 5-6 years ago, it was easy (legal) to enter USA with Canadian residency.

Now am I worried for nothing? Some one told me as long as I have the plastic card, it doesnt matter whether I came into USA last time as canadian PR or H1 or whatever, the immigration officer will only look at your Plastic Green card nothign else.

do I have anything to worry about? Can someone advice? Anyone?
 
JenJenWv-

Entered USA through Chicago last Friday - I have the plastic card and also the passport stamping. I had no problems at all. Had to go through US Citizens / Legal Permanent Residents line. The officer just asked me how long I was away, and then said Welcome Back after swiping my plastic card.

Thanks,
