I recently adjusted status from F-1 student visa to permanent residency. I have my green card. I am planning to travel out of the U.S. soon. Will I need to have any documents other than my passport and green card to re-enter the U.S.? When I was an F-1 student, I would need to get my I-20 signed by a university official before any travel and then present it to an immigration officer upon re-entry. I'm guessing that I don't need to do that anymore - is that right? Thanks!

You have your green card now so you just need your passport and your green card that is it. You do not need anything signed off by anyone at all to make the trip out of the country. So good luck and have fun.

Technically you only need your green card to re-enter the US, but you likely wouldn't be allowed to board an airplane without a passport. 

 

So yes, those two things are all you need.
