    Default Green Card Travel

    Hi,
    Can anybody give me an answer about leaving USA for the first time, since my green card has been issued? I get my green card on 4-11-2007, throught DV-lottery2007. I need to leave USA for 4 weeks and come back. Do I have to stay whole six month in us, before i can leave for while? Is there any web links to find this kind of answer.
    thank you for any advice
    Olin

    Default Re: Green Card Travel

    As the USCIS explains,
    Quote Quoting International Travel
    A Permanent Resident of the United States can travel freely outside of the US. A passport from the country of citizenship is normally all that is needed. To reenter the US a Permanent Resident normally needs to present the green card (Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551) for readmission. A reentry permit is needed for reentry for trips greater than one year but less than two years in duration.
