Attorney_6 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Assuming you traveled outside the country using a valid AP or a valid H1B, there should not be any issues when re-entering the U.S. using a valid green card and any questions asked at the port of entry should be answered truthfully. Generally, once an individual becomes a lawful permanent resident it is advisable to keep any of their trips outside the U.S. under 6 months. For specific advice I recommend you schedule a 20 min consultation with one of our attorneys. Quote Link to comment
