Introduction: Can I Travel With My Green Card in 2017?

In 2017, if you have a green card (also known as a permanent resident card), you have the right to live and work in the United States indefinitely. You can also travel freely within the United States and its territories, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. However, if you plan to travel outside of the United States, you will need to take some steps to make sure that you can re-enter the country without any problems.

Before you travel outside of the United States, there are two things that you will need:

1) A valid Green Card
2) A valid passport from your country of citizenship

If you have both of these items, then you should have no problem re-entering the United States after your trip. However, it is always a good idea to check the expiration dates on both your Green Card and your passport before you travel, just to be safe. If either one of these items is close to expiring, you may want to renew it before your trip.

In addition, there are some countries that require all visitors (including green card holders) to have a visa in order to enter. If you are planning to visit any of these countries, you will need to obtain a visa before your trip. For more information on visas, please see the U.S. Department of State’s website: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en.html

What is a Green Card?

A Green Card is an identification card that proves that you have been granted lawful permanent resident status in the United States. With a Green Card, you have the right to live and work permanently in the United States. You can also travel in and out of the country freely. If you want to become a U.S. citizen, you can do so after living in the United States for a certain number of years with a Green Card.

Who is Eligible for a Green Card?

All foreign nationals who wish to live and work in the United States permanently are required to obtain a green card.Green cards are also known as Permanent Resident Cards. To be eligible for a green card, you must first meet certain eligibility requirements set forth by U.S. immigration law. These requirements vary depending on your particular immigrant category. For example, some categories require that you have a qualifying relative who is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, while others require that you have been sponsored by an employer or other organization.

Once you have determined that you meet the eligibility requirements for your immigrant category, you will need to file an application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The type of application you will need to file, as well as the filing fee, will depend on your category and whether you are applying from inside or outside the United States.

After USCIS reviews your application and determines that you are eligible for a green card, they will issue you a permanent resident card, which will allow you to live and work in the United States permanently.

How to Apply for a Green Card?

The first step in applying for a green card is to fill out an application. The most common way to do this is through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.

Once you have completed the application, you will need to submit it along with a number of other required documents. These may include a passport-style photo, proof of your identity, and evidence of your relationship to a family member or spouse who is a U.S. citizen or green card holder.

After your application is submitted, USCIS will review it and determine whether you are eligible for a green card. If you are found to be eligible, you will be scheduled for an interview at a USCIS office. At the interview, you will be asked questions about your application and your background. After the interview, USCIS will make a decision on your case.
