Greencard received

[Kitty_Cat 0]

Question : Now that I have a greencard, I should be able to travel outside of USA ( to visit my family, been 9 months!!) without problem right? I noticed it's said in the instruction that came with the greencard that "If you plan to travel abroad and believe you may be gone for a year or more, you should apply for a reentry permit". But I am only going to visit my family for less than a month. AP or just GC?

Thanks!

I think you answered your own question. You won't be gone for more than a year, so your green card is all you'll need. Have a great reunion with your family!

Congrats on your new status!

The first thing that came to my mind when i got the greencard was 'OMG I gotta let my visa journey friends know!'
