Traveling to another country

[Wayne and Claudia 40]

Question: My wife should arrive here before 2011 provided nothing major arises next week at her interview (I see mi amor preciosa in 5 days). Once she enters she gets her greencard. My question is she still has her Colombian passport and I want to take her to a couple of my favorite scuba diving locations (Honduras, Belize) and possibly to Europe next year. Can she travel to those locations uninterrupted (with her Colombian passport and US Greencard) or does she still need to meet visa requirements from Colombia? Thanks to all my VJ brothers and sisters for your help.

no , but take your marriage certificate with you, some times the passport name is madian name and your green card name is different, have a nice trip,

I don't think you are correct. Green card is irrelevant for entry into another country as it allows entry to US only. Wayne, you will need to look at the visa requirements of each country as it pertains to a Columbian citizen and meet them. The US requirements are only for US passport holders.

Each country has it's own rules but in most cases she will travel as a citizen of her home country.

That is what i am thinking but hopefully with her status in the US it will make getting a tourist visa easier. Gracias.

We traveled in the Caribbean last January, and are set to do so again. Vika needed her Ukrainian passport, GC, and marraige certificate. Almost none of it was looked at and she got on and off our ship fine. When coming back from England in May though, Brit Air wouldn't let her on without her marraige cert. They said it was because the GC and passport name didn't match.
