Travelling to India

[Rahul_Delhi 0]

Hello VJ members,

I have a dumb question, hope I can get some suggestions.

I am a Green Card holder (K1) & going to travel India in Jan 2012 just for 3 weeks. I have Indian Passport which is going to expire in May 2012. Is it OK with the states gov to renter into USA?

Also, is there any other document or step I need to take when I come back to states?

I am just affraid to having any trouble as I am leaving USA first time.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You should be fine with the GC and passport.

When flying to India, the airline will want to see both the passport and GC prior to boarding.

In India, you will use your Indian passport to enter. When you leave India, you will need to show your passport again as well as your GC.

When you enter the US, you will enter on your GC.

No other paperwork is needed.
