Permanent Residence Card - What is a green card?



Green cards are issued by the United States Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS) to foreign nationals who are permanent residents of the U.S. Green cards allow permanent residents to travel to and from the United States without obtaining travel permits and immigrant visa. The green card is actually a permanent immigrant visa that provides the foreign national the opportunity to travel outside the United States without obtaining a re-entry permit. However, U.S. permanent residents who travel outside the U.S. for 180 days or more need to obtain a travel document or a re-entry permit prior to departnture. Depending on the situation, the USCIS may determine that the foreign national has the intent to abandon his or her permanent residency if the person traveled 180 days or more. Additionally, if the travel is one year or more, the USCIS can determine that the person actually abandoned U.S. permanent residency status. Before you travel outside the U.S, it is advisable that you need to contact the Houston Immigration Attorneys and the Southwest Houston Immigration Lawyers at the Law Offices of Steven Tuan Pham for a personal consultation with respect to your rights and obligations as permanent residents.
