Re-entry permit, please helpppp?
I'm going to Vietnam for 1 month, do I need re-entry permit to go back to US? I only have my green card
Answer:
You need a re-entry permit if you travel abroad for 1 year or more.
If you go to Vietnam for 1 month just come back with your greencard.
"Re-Entry Permit
Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders) use re-entry permits to re-enter the U.S. after travel of one year or more. For LPR’s returning to the U.S., re-entry permits are generally valid for two years from the date of issuance of the re-entry permit. The LPR should apply for this benefit before leaving the U.S.
... Please note that a re-entry permit does not guarantee admission into the U.S. Aliens with re-entry permits are still subject to the inspection process at the port of entry. It is also important to note that travel outside of the U.S for more than one year will under most circumstances break the continuous residence requirement for later naturalization purposes. Travel for over 6 months may break the continuous residence requirement. See Section 316 (b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act."
Hope that helps.
sure you will if yours is temporary; except if you have a valid Vietnam passport!
You do not need a re-entry permit unless you are leaving the U.S. for an uninterrupted period of one year or more. Keep in mind, however, that extensive travel outside the U.S. can delay your eligibility for naturalization (if you're interested in pursuing it).
Good luck
