First time traveling as permanent resident

Hello everyone,

So since a few weeks now I am approved as permanent resident (conditional). And in around two weeks I will travel to my home country forthe first time with this new status.

I am wondering about something and every advice would be highly appreciated.

The last times I traveled home was in December (just a week) and once in the end of January (10days), but that was before I got married and before the filling for the green card. So now will be the first time for me and it only has some family visiting purposes. I will also go out of the country again in mid august for almost three weeks with my wife as a belated honeymoon.

My question is whether this might jeopardize my status of permanent residency in the USA ? Usually I do not travel that often, and the August one is going to be the last one in quite a while but I hope I do not give the wrong impression of not making the USA my permanent residency.

My wife and I live here together, my work is here and we just signed a new lease, so our lives are taking place here. I just hope it does not seem questionable when reentering ? What are your opinions ? I am just very excited as it is my first time traveling out of the USA as a permanent resident.

Thank you all.

Thank you for your answer. I am congident that one trip just to see my family for three weeks is not a problem. Especially since i habe extremely strong ties to the USA. Wife, apartment, job, bank accounts, insurance.

What makes me insecure is that we were planning on going again in Mid August. And although it will be just for around three weeks again as a belated honeymoon, I hope it will not be a concern when reentering. :-s
