If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you may leave the United States multiple times and reenter, if you do not intend to stay outside the United States for 1 year or more.
If you intend to stay outside the United States for 1 year or more, you must apply for a re-entry permit with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) prior to leaving the United States. A re-entry permit allows a lawful permanent resident or conditional permanent resident to apply for admission to the United States upon returning from abroad during the permit’s validity without the need to obtain a returning resident visa from a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate. Re-entry permits are generally valid for 2 years from the date of issuance. Therefore, if you are outside of the United States longer than the date the permit was issued, you may be denied entry into the United States.
To apply for a re-entry permit, you must file an application for a travel document (I-131) with the USCIS. If you applied for permanent resident status but are not yet officially a lawful permanent resident "green card holder" and you need to leave the United States on emergency, you must apply for and receive advance parole to leave the United States by filing a I-131 with USCIS.
For additional information, see the USCIS Policy Manual.
If you are required to file documents prior to leaving the United States it is imperative that you do so, otherwise, you may be found inadmissible and denied reentry into the United States.
If you are a green card holder and you do not stay outside the United States for 1 year or more, you should have either your green card (I-551) or your returning resident visa to re-enter the United States. You are not required to present your unexpired passport; however, it is not a bad idea to carry it with you. |
