    Default Traveling With an Expiring Green Card but With Citizenship in Process

    Hey,

    My green card is expiring at the end of the month,
    however today I filed papers to kickstart my citizenship process,
    I also have a cruise planned out for the end of this month.

    My question is, can I travel?

    Am I going to have to go to INS and get a stamp on my passport in order to travel, even if my paperwork for citizenship is already in the process?

    Default Re: Traveling With an Expiring Green Card but With Citizenship in Process

    You're required to carry proof of your lawful status, be that your Green Card or the temporary proof of status you get when you file for its renewal. If you choose to travel without evidence of your lawful status, you could encounter difficulties when you attempt to reenter the United States.

    You may take your application in person to the USCIS office along with your passport, or if you don't have a passport along with an additional photograph, so that a temporary document (a stamped Form I-94 with photograph) can be created and issued to you immediately.
