    Exclamation Entering USA Without a Green Card, Only My Canadian Passport

    Hello,

    I am a Canadian citizen/U.S. Green Card Holder, I got my green card with my parents (who reside in U.S.) a long time ago. I have never actually lived in the U.S., so I know if I present my green card it will be revoked at port of entry due to not meeting U.S. residency requirements. So, my question is if I just want to go shopping or visiting my family no exceeding 1 month, could I just just present only my canadian PASSPORT and not mention anything about my green card? Or will my green card status show up on my passport electronic information and have custom/border agents questioning me? Thanks.

    File an I-407 to formally abandon lawful permanent residence status. It should clear up the USCIS records, but won't detrimentally affect you as you've already abandoned your status.

    I don't think you'll have a problem entering the U.S., although there's a small chance that they'll be concerned that you intend to immigrate based upon your historic permanent residency.

    I can't promise what will or will not show up on their computers, although I expect your entire immigration history to show up.
